Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The Nurse Practice Act of the state determines the parameters of LPN/LVN practice. The other options may be less detailed than the Nurse Practice Act, so they are not the best resources.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, E, F
The U.S. health care system responds to illness rather than health promotion. Universal access is not available. National health insurance is not available. The system is fragmented, with a variety of payment options and multiple sources of funding and only a few seamless systems in place. The U.S. health care system has been described as a poorly designed, fragmented, and disjointed maze of services that lacks preventive care, wastes resources, and is low quality, unsafe, and confusing.
