Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Collaboration is designated in ANA's standard of professional performance. Assessment, diagnosis, and evaluation are not designated in ANA's standard of professional performance. They are professional nursing responsibilities designated in ANA's standard of care list.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Although the registered nurse has assigned the task to the LPN, the overall responsibility lies with the registered nurse. The registered nurse is answerable for the client's care, not the LPN. Telling the LPN that she should know the procedure because it is taught in class is inappropriate; putting theory into application would require supervision. Asking the LPN to refer to the manual and perform the procedure is incorrect because the LPN may commit mistakes. The LPN is not confident about the procedure and therefore should not be asked to do the task alone or with another nurse who knows the procedure
