Answer 1

Answer:

The LPN/LVN should give utmost priority to  Encourage the client to participate in planning own care.

Because no matter what type of help the LPN/LVN is willing to give without the client seeing the need for planning own care it will all be a waste, because other issues or health complications might later arise in life.
