Which of the following represents appropriate feedback for an assignment to an LPN?
a. "Did you understand the assignment that you received in the staff report?"
b. "Have you completed the urinary cathete-rization and care of the new patient?"
c. "The patient in Room 430 looks much better, and you did a good job of making the patient comfortable.".
d. "I know you are busy; however, you need to get caught up with your pain medica-tions.".
C
Telling the LPN that they did a good job of making a patient comfortable is appropriate feedback on an assignment. Feedback is a process of informing someone of how well or how poorly a de-legated task was performed. Asking understanding of an assignment or whether a procedure was performed is not giving feedback but determining if what is supposed to be done is understand or whether the task (urinary catheterization) has been completed. The pain medications may have been delegated; however, if this task was delegated, the feedback does not tell the LPN what her or she is doing right or wrong.
