Answer to Question 1

C
Licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPN/LVN) are responsible for caring for stable patients with predictable outcomes, reinforcing teaching from a standard plan of care, and updating initial assessments. If they have received additional speciality training and certification, they may also maintain intravenous lines, administer blood transfusions, maintain hyperalimentation lines, administer IV push or piggyback medications, or insert nasogastric tubes. LPNs/LVNs are required to work under the direction of a registered nurse and their roles must be congruent with the State Nurse Practice Act.

Answer to Question 2

D
The entire health care team is responsible for ensuring that expenses are kept within the budgeted
amount. Nurses can have a major impact by following standards and reducing waste related to
supplies.
