Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The LPN/LVN may take telephone or verbal orders only if the practice is clearly defined by the institution's policies. The nurse taking them and carrying them out must take responsibility for their accuracy and the primary provider must sign or acknowledge any verbal order as soon as possible (no later than 24 hours after given). Certain orders, such as those for client safety devices/restraints, must be cosigned by the physician within 1 hour. The nursing student or other unlicensed person never takes verbal or telephone orders.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Narcolepsy is a brief attack of irresistible sleep. An alteration in the young person's emotional state often precipitates this condition. Underlying contributing factors for narcolepsy may be traced to some type of conflict, competition, or unacceptable aggression. Boys are more likely to be affected than girls. Nighttime sleep is basically normal; however, tests usually detect an earlier appearance of REM sleep, which under normal circumstances, occurs toward morning and is marked by dreams.
