Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The trend toward using the least expensive personnel to perform nursing care negatively affects the number of licensed nurses employed by an agency. The aging of the population does not negatively affect the hiring of LPN/LVNs. Decentralization of health care agencies is more likely to affect middle managers. Critical thinking and problem-solving abilities make LPN/LVNs more attractive as employees.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The creation of care plans is a major way to improve the quality of patient care. The LPN/LVN assists the RN in the formulation of nursing care plans by contributing relevant data. The LPN/LVN is not responsible for identifying nursing diagnoses, initiating patient teaching about medications, or evaluating goal attainment. These activities are reserved for RNs.
