Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to discharge a client who has quadriplegia to his home. The nurse suggests that the family might need respite care services. When a family member asks how respite care can help, which of the following responses should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Respite care provides caregivers temporary relief from duties, not terminal care, pain relief, or post-death support.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is planning care for several clients. Which of the following activities should the nurse delegate to the licensed practical nurse (LPN)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Teaching a client insulin injection technique: This task requires the knowledge and judgment of a registered nurse (RN), as it involves patient education on complex tasks such as insulin administration.Scheduling a diagnostic study for a client: This is typically handled by the RN or administrative staff, as it involves coordination and planning, not direct patient care.Admission assessment of a new client: The admission assessment is a comprehensive process that requires the RN’s expertise to develop a plan of care based on the assessment findings, making it inappropriate to delegate to an LPN.Evaluating changes to a client's pressure ulcer: This task is appropriate for an LPN to handle. LPNs are trained to assess and monitor changes in client conditions, including evaluating the status of pressure ulcers, but would not make complex decisions or create a comprehensive care plan.
