- The LPN/LVN in the private practice of a health-care provider is assisting with a follow-up appointment for a patient being treated with oral antibiotics for a severe infection. The LPN/LVN notices that the infection site does not look improved. The patient states, some days I just forget my medication. “Which statement by the LPN/LVN would be most appropriate? Everyone forgets their medication sometimes. It is important to take your medication as ordered. Missing a dose makes the medication less effective. I am afraid your infection is not healing well.arrow_forwardDiscuss, using the text, how you believe this case should be decided. Remember to reference specific ethical principles from the text: "A 13 year old girl, suffering from toxic shock syndrome, is sent directly from school to a local emergency room. Treatment is ordered, including fever-reducing medication and a strong course of intravenous antibiotics. The parents arrive just as the medication and equipment arrive in the emergency room. They announce they are Christian Scientists and wish to take their daughter home." The clinical approach to this case requires the application of the procedure by which medical indications, patient preferences, projected quality of life and contextual features be applied.
