Question 15
Type: MCSA
The nursing practice standards for the LPN/LVN wishing to be able to participate in initiating IV therapy state
that the LPN/LVN shall:
1. Successfully pass the National Council Licensure Exam.
2. Graduate from an accredited school of nursing.
3. Present evidence of having completed a course that is approved to provide the skills and knowledge necessary
to perform this specialized task.
4. Seek and participate in continuing education opportunities.
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The LPN/LVN practice standards state that the scope of the LPN/LVN may be broadened in
specialized areas with the proper education and training (Specialized Nursing Practice standard). Passing the
NCLEX alone does not provide enough education to start IVs unless the material is covered within the nursing
program and a certification is received upon completion. Not all nursing programs teach initiation of IV therapy,
so answer option 2 is incorrect. All nurses must participate in continuing education in order to remain current, but
this does not impact their ability to initiate IV therapy.
