A licensed practical/vocational nurse is planning a trip for a client she is caring for, which will involve several months and three separate states in the United States
Which is the priority consideration the nurse needs to consider when planning the trip?
A) Location of hospitals near each place the client will stay
B) Location of pharmacies in the client's network
C) Medical supplies and equipment packed for the duration of the trip
D) Which states are compact states and which states are not, so the nurse may get licenses as necessary
Ans: D
Feedback:
Planning a trip for a client involving multiple states requires that the nurse determines which states are compact states in which she can easily obtain an endorsement for practicing nursing and which states will require a separate license in order for the nurse to care for the client in that particular state. It will take the most time to secure needed licenses, so this is the first consideration to act upon. This is because state boards of nursing require references and background checks for criminal activity, etc. Ordering necessary medical supplies and equipment is the second consideration because of the time involved to secure supplies for several months. The location of the hospitals and pharmacies is possible through an Internet search and telephone calls.
