Answer to Question 1

C
Omission is not doing something that is ordered or normally expected as part of nursing care. Responses A, B, and D are legally correct and within the scope of the practical nurse.

Answer to Question 2

B
Preparation and timeliness facilitate the communication process in IDT meetings. Response A is a poor choice because it is inflexible. If a resident's condition is changing, more time may be required to update the resident's plan of care. Response C is also a poor choice. The nurse is not taking advantage of the diverse resources of the IDT in planning care. The resident and family are part of the IDT. Response D is inappropriate. Discussing resident and family concerns with the whole IDT group avoids miscommunication and deals with problems in a timely manner.
