Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
The LPN/LVN can administer medications and assess the patient's reactions to these medications in
most states. They can also monitor blood sugar, insert a nasogastric tube, and change a dressing on a
patient who is 3 days post-surgery. Teaching and hanging of blood should by done by the RN.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, F
The NAP can take vital signs, collect a urine specimen, feed a baby, and give a bed bath as long as the
clients' conditions are stable. NAPs cannot suction a trach or catheterize a patient. These tasks should
be assigned to an LPN/LVN.
