Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Although the nurse may delegate most of the activities necessary to prepare a room for an admission, it is the nurse's responsibility to ensure other personnel complete the activities and to welcome the client to the unit.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The Joint Commission has established standards for hospital admission. These standards include assessment of each client's need for nursing care by a registered nurse and biophysical, psychosocial, environmental, self-care, educational, and discharge planning factors. The admission health assessment is not the responsibility of the physician, licensed practical nurse, or admission clerk.
