Answer to Question 1

D
The responsibilities of the LP/VN varies among home health agencies as well as among states. One of the main tasks of the LP/VN is to administer medications and provide client teaching. Evaluation of the nursing care plan is performed by the RN; respiratory therapy treatments and providing speech therapy are no part of the scope of nursing practice.

Answer to Question 2

D
Asthma is a reactive airway disease. It is a narrowing or obstruction of the airway triggered by stimuli such as cold, air, smoke, viral infections, exercise, drugs, stress, or allergens. Symptoms include a dry, hacking cough; wheezing; and difficulty breathing. The client may expectorate thick, tenacious mucus after coughing. See the care plan for nursing interventions in the text. Medical treatment focuses on preventing airway damage resulting from repeated and severe episodes.
