Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The NCLEX-RN is similar to the PN/VN examination, with more emphasis on assessment and planning. The LPN/LVN does not perform nursing assessment per se and does not independently develop the nursing care plan.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Kyphosis is an abnormal curvature of the thoracic spine that results in a hunchback appearance. It can result from disease (e.g., tuberculosis), compression fractures, or arthritis. Lordosis is an exaggerated curvature of the lumbar spine in which the pelvis tips forward. It may result from a disease process, or it may be idiopathic. Scoliosis is a lateral curvature, resulting in an S-shaped spinal appearance. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is a generalized systemic disease of the entire musculoskeletal system. It can lead to deformities, contractures, and impaired movement.
