As an LPN you may have to deal with patients who are in pain, worried about the financial affect of their health issues or frustrated about being in hospital and away from their business or loved ones. It is important that a licensed practical nurse understand the patient’s feelings and perspective in order to deal with the situation best. The interviewer is interested in hearing how you would approach such a situation, and you should answer truthfully, citing examples of how you have dealt with this type of situation in the past.
