Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Options B, C, and D are an advantage to the individual. The advantage to the institution is to cover and support the full-time staff. The other options are not advantages to part-time staff.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
It is not within the scope of practice of the LPN to assess an unstable patient and thus it would require an immediate intervention. Only RNs can assess an unstable patient. The other actions are appropriate delegation and therefore do not require intervention.
