Answer to Question 1

B
As the charge nurse, you are responsible for everything that goes on in your unit. The LPN was negligent in not assessing the resident more frequently. The CNA was guilty of imprisoning a patient.

Answer to Question 2

B
Planning is a form of doing. A good manager is always reviewing the big picture to manage the unit and evaluate the work of subordinates to determine if the individual needs of the older adults are being met most effectively.
