Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Although the registered nurse is responsible for the admission assessment, the nurse may delegate some aspects to the practical nurse, nursing student, or other ancillary staff. For example, the nurse can delegate parts of the client's physical assessment, which includes taking vital signs, to the other ancillary staff. The nurse cannot normally delegate the creation of a care plan, medication administration or documentation to an unlicensed care provider.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should gather the garment and work it up and over the body. The nurse should not roll the client from side to side or ask the client to lift his head or hips as the client may be weak and tired. The client can sit on the edge of the bed and can help the nurse in the process. The nurse should first release any fasteners such as zippers and buttons and remove the item of clothing in whatever way is most comfortable and least disturbing.
