Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The adolescent has the right to be interviewed alone if he so chooses. The nurse should take the child aside and ask the child what the preference is. Assuming that the mother should be present or that the adolescent wants to be alone for the interview is not appropriate. It would not be appropriate to ask the physician how to handle the situation, as it is the client's choice.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4,5
Rationale: The LPN/LVN may function as preceptors for new graduate LPNs/LVNs, or for newly employed LPNs/LVNs .
