Answer to Question 1

A
An LPN/LVN

Answer to Question 2

B
The CON approach was not successful because it focused only on hospitals and provided no incentives to change either physician or patient behavior. Hospitals were given spending limits, but there was no incentive for physicians to change their practice. Without incentives, patients' expectations and demands for care also remained unchanged.
