Answer to Question 1

B
Highest priority is given to problems that are life threatening or that could be destructive to the client. Safety is most basic in Maslow's hierarchy. Even though Risk for Aspiration is not an actual problem, it poses the most immediate life-threatening risk to the client; nursing interventions must be performed to prevent it from becoming an actual problem.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
The nurse should not delegate bathing of a client newly diagnosed with a stroke whose blood pressure is unstable or otherwise abnormal. This client requires the keen assessment and critical thinking skills of a registered nurse. The nurse can safely delegate the care of stable clients, such as the client admitted with dehydration, the client admitted with a urinary tract infection, or the client with chronic renal failure. Any client who is very ill or who requires complex decision making should be cared for by a registered nurse.
