Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
When the same examination is used, the boards of nursing can be assured that those who pass have the knowledge to practice practical/vocational nursing at a minimally safe and effective level.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The NCLEX-PN examination measures the minimum competencies required to safely and effectively practice as a newly licensed practical/vocational nurse. The NCLEX-PN examination is administered by a testing agency. The NCLEX-PN does not confer eligibility to enter an ADN program. The NCLEX-RN examination tests information based on its own test plan.
