Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The traditional signs of death are not referred to as brain death.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Percussion is a method of examination that the entry-level LPN/LVN does not perform. With training, the LPN/LVN may perform this method later in practice. Observing, palpating, and auscultating would all be expectations of a focused examination of the lungs.
