Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Currently graduates of an approved vocational school are eligible to take the licensing examination and be awarded a license with a score of pass that is recognized by all states.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Standards of care dictate that a nurse must be aware of all the properties of drugs administered. Prochlorperazine (Compazine) is a phenothiazine. Providing confidential information or refusing to give an excessively large narcotic dose is not considered malpractice. Good Samaritan laws generally protect a person giving aid to an injured motorist.
