A licensed practical nurse (LPN) has recently begun working in a nursing home that uses the functional nursing model.
 
  The nurse recognizes that each part of the nursing team has a specific function or task to complete. The LPN was assigned to change all of the dressings on the wing. While caring for a client requiring a large wet-to-dry dressing change to debride the infected wound, the LPN noted that the client was screaming in pain when she removed the old dressing, and the wound looked worse than it did the other day. Which actions should the LPN provide next?
  A) Complete the dressing, chart the findings, and go on to change the next client's dressing.
  B) Provide the pain medication and then change the dressing, and chart the findings.
  C) Ask the medication nurse to provide pain medication before completing the dressing.
  D) Report the findings to the physician and change the dressing and document.
