Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The nurse is responsible for determining whether to perform an intervention or to delegate it to another member of the nursing team. Assessment of a client directs the decision about delegation and not the intervention alone. Vital signs are important indicators of a client's health status and the task should be delegated to ancillary personnel only when the client is in a stable condition; otherwise, the nurse should be responsible. The other options reflect responsible assignment of personnel.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
As a nurse gains clinical experience, he or she will be able to consider which interventions have worked previously, which have not, and why. The decision to check each IV site has become a practice standard for this nurse as a result of previous experiences with IV sites. The remaining options are either standards of care or facility/unit standards.
