Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: While all of this information can improve client care, the most urgent information to obtain about clients upon admission to the unit is their allergies, because exposure to an allergen, whether medication, food, or other substance, could negatively impact client outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: The facility ethics committee functions to help resolve ethical dilemmas regarding client care. Discussing the dilemma with the family would be illegal and a breach of privacy. The Board of Nursing and Legal Department might offer legal advice, but would not be the best source for ethical decision making.
