The LPN/LVN is participating in a client care conference of an assigned client. Which of the following is the best way for the LPN/LVN to assist with planning for this client's care?
1. Listen to information presented by the team.
2. Tell the participants about observations made while bathing the client.
3. Suggest goals for the client's safety.
4. Suggest nursing diagnoses appropriate for the client.

Rationale 1: The LPN/LVN can best participate in the conference by suggesting goals for client based on firsthand knowledge of the client's needs and preferences. Listening to information is polite, but does not contribute to planning care. The RN is responsible for creating appropriate nursing diagnoses. Information about observations made during client care should be documented on the chart and available to the team.
