Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Assigning an SP/VN to a complex nursing situation shows poor judgment. A complex nursing situation involves a patient whose clinical condition is unpredictable. Nursing care expectations are beyond what the LPN/LVN has learned during the educational program. An instructor is expected to make patient assignments based on student knowledge and ability to give safe nursing care and is expected to provide necessary supervision.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The patient's request must be honored, but agency protocol must be followed in doing so. Usually a physician or RN reviews the record with the patient to translate medical terminology and answer questions. Student nurses and LPN/LVNs do not provide the patient with the record.
