What does LPN stand for?

• A. Licensed Practical Nurse
• B. Licensed Professional Nurse
• C. Local Practice Nurse
• D. Long-term Practical Nurse

Answer: (A)

The question tests your knowledge of nursing credential abbreviations. LPN stands for Licensed Practical Nurse, a title for a nurse who provides basic bedside care and works under the supervision of an RN or physician. In many states, the same role is also called LVN (Licensed Vocational Nurse). The other options aren’t recognized official titles, so they don’t match the standard credential.
