Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A This is not required to determine staffing needs.
B This is not required to determine staffing needs.
C To know the number of staff needed, it is necessary to know the daily census.
D This is not required to determine staffing needs.

Answer to Question 2

C
The client who should be assessed first is Mr. Donaldson. Because the client is scheduled for surgery,
it is of utmost importance to determine the cause of his chills. The client's condition could have a
negative effect on his recovery from surgery. Addressing Mr. Akerman's discharge papers and Mrs.
Samuels' teaching would not be as critical. Since Mrs. Smith's surgery is not scheduled until
tomorrow morning, this issue can be addressed after checking on Mr. Donaldson.
