Answer to Question 1

B
Experience is not a legal justification for practice. Responses A, C, and D define the practice of the LPN.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response B is an open question, encouraging Mr. Jones to talk about his personal feelings. Responses A, C, and D are closed statements that do not encourage Mr. Jones to talk about his feelings. Instead, they are statements of the nurse's beliefs about how Mr. Jones should be feeling.
