Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 5
Understanding how to perform the procedure correctly is important if the nurse is to maintain safety. The nurse should never perform any procedure without understanding why it is being performed and what outcome is desired. The nurse is responsible for teaching the patient what to expect before the procedure is begun, so the nurse must understand how the procedure will impact the patient. The nurse will gather the equipment required to perform the procedure, therefore needs to know what will and what might be needed. The nurse is not responsible for knowing the cost of the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 3, 4
Professional organizations provide lifelong learning opportunities for the LPN in the form of journals, seminars, and annual meetings. They also provide the LPN a voice for concerns and opinions, and they serve as an advocate for LPNs at the state and national level. Membership in a nursing organization is not usually a requirement for employment, but it can serve as a favorable indicator that the nurse is maintaining current knowledge. While ongoing education is required by some boards of nursing for licensure, there is no requirement the nurse belong to an organization.
