Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The kidneys maintain acid-base balance by selectively excreting or conserving bicarbonate and hydrogen ions

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The LPN/LVN who completes the instructor course in CPR may teach a CPR class. Initial teaching required by a client is completed by the RN, and then the LPN/LVN reinforces client teaching. The LPN/LVN would not usually provide RN inservices, although the LPN/LVN may participate in teaching the nursing staff.
