Scope of Practice Practice Tests

Clarity on roles prevents errors. Under Safe and Effective Care Environment → Management of Care → Scope of Practice, you’ll sort what belongs to the RN, what an LPN/LVN may perform, and what tasks are appropriate for UAPs based on the nursing process, patient stability, and state practice acts. Items test whether you accept or refuse orders outside scope, handle floating to unfamiliar units, and protect patients when a task requires an RN (initial assessment, IV push meds, blood administration, initial teaching). Expect scenarios that contrast reinforcement versus new teaching and stable versus unstable clients, with emphasis on accountability and patient safety.
