Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: When a new problem is found, the LPN/LVN notifies the RN so that the plan of care can be adjusted. The LPN/LVN performs wound care for the client, and does not need to consult the RN unless the wound changes, the LPN/LVN is not certain of how to proceed, or assistance is required. The RN is responsible for nursing diagnosis and complete assessment.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Customer satisfaction is often determined by taking time to communicate with clients effectively on first contact.
