Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The NLN membership is open to all levels of nurses and anyone interested in nursing issues.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The ANA represents only registered nurses. State affiliates of the ANA are altering bylaws to allow LPN/LVNs to join the association at the state level and pay dues but not to have a voice or vote in the organization. The ANA does not represent licensed practical/vocational nurses and has attempted to limit their scope of practice. In 1965 the ANA set a policy to eliminate LPN/LVNs and attempted to do so again in the 1980s.
