The LPN/LVN tells a mentor, "I want to join the nursing organization that gives me the greatest voice in making policy for LPN/LVN nursing." The mentor can correctly suggest that the LPN/LVN will wish to join the
a. National League for Nursing (NLN).
b. National Association for Practical Nurse Education and Services (NAPNES).
c. National Federation of Practical Nurses (NFPN).
d. American Nurses Association (ANA).
ANS: C
The NFPN speaks on behalf of LPN/LVNs. It is governed entirely by LPN/LVNs and is the policy-making body and voice of LPN/LVNs. The NLN provides services for LPN/LVN schools of nursing, and NAPNES provides services for individual LPN/LVNs; however, these are not considered policy-making bodies for LPN/LVNs. The ANA is concerned with professional nursing.
