Which licensed practical/vocational nurses (LP/VN) should be most qualified to be promoted to the position of manager of a long-term client care unit? The nurse who:
A) has passed the NFLPN IV Therapy National Certification Assessment.
B) has 4 years clinical experience in gerontology.
C) has earned the respect of his or her coworkers.
D) completed a 3-day seminar in managing a client care unit.
Ans: B
Feedback:
Clinical experience provides the foundation for making client care decisions. Respect is important but doesn't assure experience, knowledge, or skills. Completing a 3-day seminar is good, but clinical experience may be missing. Experience with IV therapy does not prepare a nurse for a management position.
