Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The LPN/LVN practice role requires that the individual be licensed as an LPN/LVN in the state in which he or she is practicing. The other qualifications are important but are not the most basic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
All charting must be specific, objective, and complete. One should avoid subjective comments and personal judgments in charting. The remaining options are examples of subjective charting. Listing facts such as the smell of alcohol and the behavior of the patient is an example of objective charting.
