Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A growing number of patients are elderly and may present certain challenges to the nurse in ensuring that they can hear, understand, and accept suggestions. Although speaking clearly to patients is important, much of the teaching patients need will be given in writing. How and what is written are very important if we wish to send the right message.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
It is usually the LPN/LVN who takes vital signs, checks a patient's response to medications and treatments, and monitors symptoms the patient is having.
