Answer to Question 1

4,5
Rationale 1: The LPN/LVN contributes to the nursing process by documenting and reporting client response to treatment. The other options are necessary routine care that contribute to client comfort and care but do not contribute to the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: As a client advocate, the nurse's best action is to notify the nursing supervisor, who will assist in obtaining clarification for the order. Administering the dosage the nurse believes to be correct is prescribing, which is outside the scope of practice for the nurse and dangerous for the client. Holding the medication could result in a poor outcome for the client because she would not receive a necessary medication. Administering the medication as ordered would likely result in harm to the client.
