Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The ICU nurse caring for a client who has just been declared brain dead can expect to find evidence of the client's wishes regarding organ donation:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In most states, indication of organ donor status is found on the driver's license. Evidence in a last will and testament or in a safety deposit box is not readily accessible for decision-making if the need arises. Insurance cards do not contain such information.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client awaiting test results on a biopsy. The client is unconscious, and the physician informs the client's spouse that the biopsy came back positive for cancer. The spouse asks the nurse if they will not share this news with the client because they would prefer the client be unaware of the diagnosis. Which of the following responses is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The ethical principle of veracity requires that the nurse is truthful with the client and does not withhold information even if it is requested by the family.
Question 3 of 5

Question 5 of 5
Which of the following tasks are appropriate for an LPN to perform?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: While LPNs are expected to perform assessments, initial assessments should always be performed by a registered nurse or attending physician. LPNs should take orders for client care and equipment adjustment from prescribing providers directly, not the charge nurse. Teaching, obtaining stool samples, and documenting medication administration are all within the scope of practice of an LPN.
