Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: The LPN/LVN may reinforce teaching, but may not perform discharge teaching independently. The RN is responsible for designing the teaching plan for a client, and then the LPN/LVN may help carry it out. The other options are within the LPN/LVN scope of practice.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Reviewing charts of clients for whom you are not caring is considered a violation of privacy. Answer options 1, 2, and, 4 are appropriate learning opportunities for the student nurse.
