Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Before attempting to solve any problem, the LPN/LVN must clearly identify the real problem. In this case, longer breaks may be the staff's reaction to a more fundamental workplace problem. Verbal confrontation should not be the initial action. Written reprimands should not be the initial action. In-service classes on time management would be not an inappropriate initial action.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Team building is a process by which employees become committed to management goals. The scenario does not describe any of the other options.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
