Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Independent nursing interventions are tasks within the nurse's scope of practice and do not require an order from a physician. Dependent nursing interventions are tasks the nurse undertakes that are within the nursing scope of practice but require the order of a primary care provider to be implemented. Some physician orders are received through a preapproved standardized order set known as standing orders. Counseling is the process through which individuals use professional guidance to address personal conflicts or emotional problems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Delegation principles focus on the appropriate intervention (task) being performed under the correct circumstances, by the correct personnel, and with the correct direction and supervision. The right medication and dosage, by the correct route, to the right patient, at the right time, and documenting correctly are the six rights of medication administration. Options C and D are combinations of the five rights of delegation and the six rights of medication administration.
