c Validate the data by asking a coworker to listen to the breath sounds.
.
d Assess again in 20 minutes to note whether the sound is still present.
.

ACTUAL ANSWER;- C
When unsure of a sound heard while listening to a patients breath sounds, the
nurse validates the data to ensure accuracy. If the nurse has less experience in an
area, then he or she asks an expert to listen.

b A set of rules.
.
c Articles in journals.
.
d Advice from supervisors.
.

ACTUAL ANSWER;- B
Novice nurses operate from a set of defined, structured rules. The expert
