Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: The client with vomiting and diarrhea is already losing fluids, and should not be taking a bowel cleanser. Ginger is a classic home remedy for upset stomach. In the Philippines, the oil from a special tree is thought to relieve flatulence; it is not harmful. Meditating in a yoga position is usually a safe therapy for most clients.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The LPN/LVN can best participate in the conference by suggesting goals for client based on firsthand knowledge of the client's needs and preferences. Listening to information is polite, but does not contribute to planning care. The RN is responsible for creating appropriate nursing diagnoses. Information about observations made during client care should be documented on the chart and available to the team.
