Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Entry into practice, originally advanced by the ANA, refers to the movement to establish two levels of nursing. More recently it has become a question of determining the most appropriate entry into practice for professional nurses: the ADN, BSN, or master's level of preparation. The other options are not related to entry into practice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
No single concrete proposal has been advanced for debate; thus, one cannot determine the probable effect on LPN/LVN training and education.
