Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The NFPN speaks on behalf of LPN/LVNs. It is governed entirely by LPN/LVNs and is the policy-making body and voice of LPN/LVNs. The NLN provides services for LPN/LVN schools of nursing, and NAPNES provides services for individual LPN/LVNs; however, these are not considered policy-making bodies for LPN/LVNs. The ANA is concerned with professional nursing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
These educational experiences are considered standard benefits at most agencies. The other options are benefits that may or may not be available at a given agency.
