Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E, F
Nursing home employment of LPN/LVNs is expected to grow in response to the long-term care needs of the growing number of elderly and disabled individuals. The trend to move health care from inpatient to outpatient suggests that more LPN/LVNs will work in community-based agencies. The RN shortage, if unabated, will likely see more LPN/LVNs caring for acutely ill patients, and the LPN/LVN skill set is well matched with care needs of many terminally ill patients in hospice care. Numbers are expected to increase about as fast as the average for all occupations, whereas work sites are likely to become increasingly diverse. The number of LPN/LVN positions available in hospitals are expected to nearly double according to employment projections.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
Flexibility, self-confidence, ability to deal with emergencies, and communication skills are all helpful qualities for home health nurses. A nonjudgmental attitude is a must for the home health nurse, because he or she works in the patient's home. If the nurse is comfortable with his or her own values, different values should not be personally threatening.
