Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Membership in a nursing organization provides access to information relevant to the standing, as well as the practice, of nursing. Proposed changes in the Nurse Practice Act can be disseminated and the organization can use its collective power to support or call for defeat of such measures. The greater the membership in an organization, the greater the political power the group has. The other options are not considered major reasons for belonging to a nursing organization.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Delegation, if allowed by the Nurse Practice Act of the state, can take place if the RN teaches the skill, observes a return demonstration, documents the teaching/learning process in the LPN/LVN's file, and provides ongoing direct supervision. LPN/LVNs are under the direct supervision of professional nurses. Accreditation of the school does not confer the right to accept delegation. Nursing shortages cannot dictate the acceptability of delegation.
