Question:

A patient says to the LPN/LVN, “I think you’re really cute and we get along so well. Once I’m out of here, would you like to go on a date sometime?” Which response by the LPN/LVN is the most appropriate?

A “I’m glad you feel we get along, but I am here to take care of you during your stay in the hospital.”
explanation

It is inappropriate for LPNs/LVNs to begin relationships with patients under their care. The other responses either do not address this fact or are unnecessarily confrontational. Focus should be kept on the patient and therapeutic communication should be used.
