Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The National Council of State Boards of Nursing conducts a vocational nursing job analysis every three years to learn what the job requirements and job performances are for LPN/LVNs, and the NCLEX-PN is adjusted to match what is actually occurring in practice.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Because it is noninvasive, generally the first test to be performed when examining for the cause of infertility is a semen analysis, which includes measuring sperm mobility and number. If this is normal, the mother's hormone levels will be checked. Ultrasound and more invasive tests are performed if cause of infertility is not indicated by other tests.
