Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The LPN/LVN functions interdependently by providing care according to the established plan, collecting data, and offering input to the RN about the effectiveness of care and suggestions for care improvement. Only the RN provides care independently. Advanced practice refers to a nurse with specialized education, skills, and certification. Decentralized is not a term used to describe the LPN/LVN role.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Respiratory therapists are responsible for evaluating patient respiratory status and suggesting treatment to prevent or treat respiratory problems. The health care team members mentioned in the other options do not focus on patient breathing.
