Answer to Question 1

D
The charge nurse should be informed of the lack of training to perform the procedure, and the vocational nurse should seek further training to gain proficiency. Although the other options might be helpful, they are not safe.

Answer to Question 2

B
While improving quality of care provided by the LPN/LVN may be a result of the NPA, the pri-mary purpose of the NPA of each state defines the scope of nursing practice in that state.
