Question 1 See full question
A nurse is caring for a 14-month-old infant being treated for an upper
respiratory infection. The physician would like to order a series of X-rays for
the infant, who has been in a foster home for 4 months. How should the
nurse obtain consent?
Correct response:
•
Obtain consent from the foster parents.
Explanation:
Foster parents have the right to consent to medical care of minors in their care.
The parents of a minor in foster care don't have authority to make decisions
regarding his care. The nurse should call Child Protective Services only if she has
concerns about a foster parent's authenticity. The nurse needn't notify the
director of nursing unless complications occur.

this may determine treatment. The psychiatric evaluation, which includes intent
to harm oneself, adequate support system, and history, can be performed after
the client is medically stable.
Question 3 See full question
A client is scheduled to undergo an exploratory laparoscopy. The registered nurse
(RN) asks the licensed practical nurse (LPN) to prepare the client for surgery. The
RN must confirm that the LPN has specialized training before delegating which
task?
Correct response:
•
Initiating I.V. therapy, as ordered
Explanation:
The RN must confirm that the LPN has specialized I.V. training before asking her
to begin I.V. therapy for this client. Initiating I.V. therapy is beyond the usual
scope of practice for an LPN. Weighing the client, teaching coughing and deep
breathing exercises, and teaching the client how to collect a urine specimen are
within the scope of LPN practice and don't require additional training.

medications, the registered nurse receives a call from the intensive care unit
(ICU), saying a client who underwent a craniotomy 24 hours ago must be
transferred to make room for a new admission. The ancillary staff is providing
morning care and assisting clients with breakfast. How should the nurse direct
the staff to facilitate a timely transfer?
Correct response:
•
Ask the nursing assistant to finish providing care to the clients and the
LPN to administer the remaining medications so the registered nurse
can accept the client from the ICU.
Explanation:
