Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Employment is available for a limited number of nurses, both RNs and LPN/LVNs, in such unique locations as cruise ships or large resorts, particularly those catering to older people. In these positions, the nurse is often functioning under standing orders from a healthcare provider, who may not be on site. In the case of emergency, the nurse must be able to contact the provider, but must be able to perform first aid or life-support measures to stabilize the person for transport or until emergency services can arrive.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should teach the family caregivers to give only one or two instructions at a time, which may be repeated periodically to promote good understanding and listening. Sign language and speech therapy are critical tools for learning and communication in children with hearing impairments, not for those with learning disabilities. Visual reminders should be used in a child with a listening deficit and not speech deficit. A tape recorder should be used to reinforce information in clients with visual processing deficits.
