- CMonitoring the status of a stable client監測穩定型病人之狀況
- DPerforming an initial nursing assessment for a new admission✓ 正解執行新入院病人之初級護理評估
— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
初次評估（Initial assessment）與複雜的護理診斷，屬 RN 專業核心職責，不可指派給 LPN/LVN。LPN/LVN 可執行給藥、加強衛教及監測穩定個案。RN 必須處理所有需要臨床判斷的任務。
The initial nursing assessment for a new admission requires complex clinical judgment and comprehensive data collection, which falls under the scope of practice for a Registered Nurse (RN). Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurses (LPN/LVN) may reinforce teaching, administer medications, and monitor stable clients, but they cannot perform the initial admission assessment.

台灣護理體系未區分 RN 與 LPN，多由護理師統一執行；美國護理分級明確。
