Answer to Question 1

A
One of the competencies of an entry-level nurse is to be a patient advocate. Developing a theo-retical framework is not a competency of a new nurse; that comes with experience and advanced education. An entry-level nurse should be able to care for several patients, not one. Establishing a quality improvement plan for the unit is a nurse manager's role, not an entry-level competency.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When using a face tent to administer oxygen to a client with facial trauma, the nurse should remember that the amount of oxygen the client actually receives may be inconsistent with what is prescribed because of environmental losses. A partial rebreather mask creates a risk of suffocation. A nasal cannula dries the nasal mucosa at a higher flow. A venturi mask permits condensation to form in tubing, which diminishes the flow of oxygen.
