Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Safety is the ultimate priority in the planning and execution of delegation. This consideration supersedes resident preferences, cost factors, and time efficiency.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Securing medications is an integral component of safety. Providing private rooms and encouraging client participation in care do not enhance safety. It is unnecessary and unrealistic to create a buddy system for staff.
