Some examples from this set of practice questions
1.
which statement accurately describes the primary purpose of the state nurse practice act
Answer: While improving quality of care provided by the LPN/LVN may be a result of the NPA, the primary purpose of the NPA of each state defines the scope of nursing practice in that state.
2.
The charge nurse asks the new vocational nurse to start an intravenous infusion, a skill that the vocational nurse has not been taught during her educational program. How should the vocational nurse respond?

3.
Which patient statement indicates a need for further discharge teaching that the vocational nurse should address?
