Answer to Question 1

D
Licensed practical/vocational nurses (LP/VNs) are educated in programs that are approximately 1 year in length. The LPN works under the supervision of an RN or other licensed provider in structured settings such as hospitals, long-term care facilities, and physicians' offices.

Answer to Question 2

B
The teaching-learning process is a planned interaction promoting behavioral change that does not occur as the result of maturation or coincidence. The teaching-learning process is similar to the nursing process because it involves assessment, identification of learning needs (nursing diagnoses), planning, implementation of teaching strategies, and evaluation of learner progress and teaching proficiency.
