Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Extended care facility employment is expected to grow faster than other area of employment in response to the needs of the growing number of elderly and disabled people and the use of nursing homes for recuperation after hospitalization.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Many states, including New York, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, have removed barriers to LPN/LVN educational mobility. Articulation agreements and challenge examinations take care of courses being given academic credit in colleges. While in the military, one can take courses leading to a higher credential. Practice agreements with local physicians and health care agencies are not required to allow the LPN/LVN to work outside the legal job title.
