Answer to Question 1

B
Stuporous individuals can be aroused, but they respond inappropriately and return to sleep immediately when the stimulus is withdrawn.

Answer to Question 2

A
In an adult day care center, the LPN's major responsibility is the dispensing and supervision of client medication and assessing the subtle changes that may occur. The nurse also should be involved in educating family members regarding the wellness continuum, medication management, and myriad other topics. After these primary tasks, the LPN may be asked to help with activities and meal preparation, but this would not be a primary responsibility.
