Ati lpn fundamentals test ch 789 caole ( 41 Questions)
A resident in a skilled nursing facility for a short-term rehabilitation following a hip replacement says to the nurse, "I don't want to have you draw any more blood for those useless tests." When the nurse fails to convince the patient to have the blood drawn, the most appropriate documentation would be:
"Blood not drawn because tests are no longer desired by patient."This statement is vague and lacks specific details regarding the patient's exact refusal and the communication with the doctor.
"Refuses to have blood drawn; says tests are 'useless.' Doctor notified."This response documents the patient's refusal with their exact words ("useless") and also notes that the doctor has been informed, which is essential for clear, complete documentation.
"Doctor notified of failure to draw ordered blood work."This documentation lacks the reason for the blood draw failure (patient refusal) and omits the patient’s specific wording.
"Refuses to have blood drawn. Doctor notified."Although this documents the refusal and the doctor’s notification, it omits the patient’s exact words, which can provide additional context for the healthcare team.
