Answer to Question 1

2,4
Rationale 1: Physicians in private practice can control their practice environment. Physicians are not in the group that experiences the most violence.
Rationale 2: Geriatric units are among the sites in which violence is most likely to occur.
Rationale 3: Clinics are among the sites in which violence is least likely to occur.
Rationale 4: Waiting rooms are among the most common sites of health care violence.
Rationale 5: Medical laboratories are isolated areas and are not among the places where health care violence commonly occurs.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: The RN is the only caregiver legally responsible for assessing clients. Thus, the RN cannot delegate this to the LPN, and this is an example of overdelegation.
Rationale 2: It is within the LPN's scope of practice to administer oral medications.
Rationale 3: The LPN can delegate tasks to the unlicensed assistant. Reporting vital sign changes to the RN is within the scope of an unlicensed assistant.
Rationale 4: The nurse manager can delegate to the RN. An RN is a logical substitute for the charge nurse in this situation.
Global Rationale:
