Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
The LPN/LVN has the accountability to uphold clinical standards, educate patients, communi-cate effectively, and collaborate with the health care team. Depending on the type of facility, in-itiation of a care plan is often the role of the registered nurse.

Answer to Question 2

B
The drug should be stopped immediately so that the patient does not receive any more of the me-dication. After completing this priority intervention, the nurse should then obtain the patient's vital signs, report all findings to the charge nurse, and administer the prescribed antihistamine.
