Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
LPNs need to be aware that healthcare agencies' policies determine what services you can provide that will be reimbursed by payers. Reimbursement often influences the services the agency can offer to the public.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
While access to healthcare for all is the ideal, the U.S. healthcare system has struggled to meet this ideal. There is hope that this will improve with changes in healthcare system laws.
