Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: For an unresponsive adult, the student first would call for help and then would shake the client gently and ask if he is all right. If the client remains unresponsive, open the airway and assess breathing. Complete vital signs are not assessed until determining whether the client has a pulse and is breathing.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The client has a right to obtain a copy of the chart, but the request must be written, and there might be a charge for the copy. Telling the client that providing a copy of the chart is not allowed is not true. The student may not copy the chart for the client, it must be copied by the Medical Records department, and permission from the doctor is not required. However, it would be a courtesy to notify the doctor that the client requested a copy of the chart.
