Answer to Question 1

B
If the resident can verbalize complaints of pain, this can work as an asset to involving the resident in his or her care. Responses A, C, and D are not assets to restorative care. Lack of verbal communication limits the resident's involvement in the care process. Residents who have fallen often require restorative care with goals aimed at decreasing fall risks. Residents who cough while eating are often exhibiting signs of aspiration.

Answer to Question 2

A
The practical nurse supports the attainment of the restorative care goals through encouraging the change in attitudes, care skills, and environment that would promote restorative care. Responses B and C are examples of advocacy but are too narrow to describe the advocacy of practical nurses. Response D is inappropriate. If the nurse becomes an adversary of the interdisciplinary team, the nurse is not acting in the resident's best interest.
