Question

An LPN/LVN has transferred to a nursing unit and arrives for the first day. The RN checks with the LPN/LVN often throughout the shift to provide support and determine if assistance is needed. The RN is providing which level of supervision?

Answer 1

C: Continual supervision is being provided until the RN determines competency.

Step-by-step explanation:

The RN is providing continual supervision, which entails a situation where the supervising physician has regular and ongoing communication with an assistant or a new staff placed on the treatment and care of patients. In this case in question, the RN continues to check with the LPN/LVN to ensure that she is provided with all the support needed until it is clearly seen that the right competencies have been achieved by the LPN/LVN.
