Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The LPN/LVN most often will be responsible for a focused assessment on the client once or twice a shift. The LPN/LVN may be asked to conduct a focused assessment of a body part, but, in this case, it would be of the client's lungs, as the client has pneumonia. A head-to-toe assessment, complete physical examination, or admission assessment is generally conducted by the RN with data-collection assistance from the LPN/LVN.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: During the teen years, adolescents should receive a second MMR immunization.
