Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A nurse is required to follow up on a client's complaint or this can impact negatively on client safety and is not following standards of practice in a reasonable and prudent manner. Standard of practice is being followed when attending an in-service to learn about new equipment or documenting a client's allergy and asking the primary care provider about a medication order that is illegible.

D
Feedback:
The cerebellum is responsible for maintaining equilibrium and coordination. The temporal lobe of the brain is responsible for interpreting sounds via the vestibulocochlear nerve from the inner ear. The parietal and temporal lobes are responsible for interpreting taste. The occipital lobe receives visual information via the optic nerve.
