not involved in care without the client's express consent.

expectancy of <6 months.
C. Clients who live in an assisted-living facility need to be able to live independently and
require minimal assistance. Clients can receive assistance with medication and are
offered one prepared meal a day if needed. However, an assisted-living facility is not an
option at this time since the family member wishes to keep the client at home.

stroke will likely require long-term treatment. A client who has ongoing needs for care or
rehabilitation should receive care that is directed by a case manager due to the
complexity and cost of the client's needs.

not require case management.

bowel obstruction and is NPO with a nasogastric (NG) tube set to continuous
suction. Which of the following tasks should the RN perform?

A. Obtain daily weight

B. Inspect the client's oral cavity for dryness hourly

C. Measure and record the NG tube output every 4 hours

D. Assess for bowel sounds every 2 hours
D.
Assess for bowel sounds every 2 hours

Assessments are within the scope of practice for the RN only. While the LPN can also
auscultate the client's abdomen for the presence of sounds, only the RN is qualified to

, evaluate the sounds and qualify them as hypoactive, normal, or hyperactive.

Incorrect Answers:
A. Obtaining a daily weight is within the scope of practice of an LPN. While the RN
could also perform this task, it should be delegated to an LPN so that the RN is
available to perform other tasks.
B. Oral care is considered part of routine hygiene and includes observing the
membranes of the mouth for dryness. It is within the scope of practice for the LPN.
While the RN could also perform this task, it should be delegated to an LPN so the RN
is available to perform other tasks.

practice? (Select all that apply.)

A. Administer the medication to the client.

B. Notify the provider.

C. Complete a variance report.

D. Document the finding in the client's electronic medical record.

E. Place the medication back in the medication drawer.
B. Notify the provider.

C. Complete a variance report.

B. Notifying the provider is correct. The nurse should notify the provider of the finding as
a part of the variance reporting process.

C. Completing a variance report is correct. The nurse should complete an incident or
variance report regarding the occurrence.

Incorrect Answers:
A. Administering the medication to the client is incorrect. The nurse should not
administer the medication to the client, because the nurse does not know which dose of
the medication the client missed. Administering the capsule now could result in an
overdose if the client has recently taken the same medication.

D. Documenting the finding in the client's electronic medical record is incorrect. The
nurse should not document the finding in the client's electronic medical record. The
nurse should identify that information in the client's medical record is subject to attorney
review should the client decide, for any reason, to file suit against the facility or the
healthcare staff. Instead, the nurse should follow facility policy and report the incident to
the nurse manager and risk management through the use of a variance report. In
