Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Personality is stable throughout adult life and rarely do healthy older people show signs of personality change during their final years.

Answer to Question 2

C
Resigning from a position properly is another skill that the LPN/LVN will need to have. Employers will sometimes question a resum that reflects frequent job changes; therefore, it is best to remain at the first place of employment at least 1 year.
