Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
The LPN/LVN does not design the nursing care plan but may contribute to the care plan. This is the responsibility of the RN. The LPN/LVN may act in the role of charge nurse while under the supervision of an RN. Administration of medications and wound care and delegation of care are commonly the LPN/LVN's responsibility.

Answer to Question 2

A
Height and weight are used to calculate anesthesia dosages.
