Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: RNs, regardless of their education level, can work in critical care areas.
Rationale 2: There are some programs offering RN-to-MSN completion studies at this point in time.
Rationale 3: The nurse who holds a baccalaureate degree enjoys greater autonomy, responsibility, participation in institutional decision making, and career advancement.
Rationale 4: A liberal arts education is also a positive point, although not as major of an incentive.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The RN has the knowledge and skill to make more sophisticated nursing judgments, and is responsible for assessing the client's condition, planning care, and evaluating the effect of the care provided.
Rationale 2: LPNs practice under the supervision of an RN in a hospital, nursing home, rehabilitation center, or home health agency, and usually provide basic, direct technical care to clients that can include the administration of scheduled IM medications if the institution includes that in the LPN's job description.
Rationale 3: LPNs practice under the supervision of an RN in a hospital, nursing home, rehabilitation center, or home health agency, and usually provide basic, direct technical care to clients that can include dressing changes.
