Correct answer: A. Under the supervision of an RN, APRN, or LPN

Correct. RSA 326-B:14 requires an LNA to practice under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN), advanced practice registered nurse (APRN), or licensed practical nurse (LPN).

• B: Independent, unsupervised practice is not authorized under an LNA's scope of practice.
• C: The statute specifically references supervision by a licensed nurse (RN/APRN/LPN), not solely a physician.
• D: Supervision must come from a licensed nurse, not merely another nursing assistant.

Correct answer: A. RSA 326-B:9, the statute's rulemaking authority provision

Correct. RSA 326-B:9 provides the statutory rulemaking authority under which the Board of Nursing adopted the Nur 400 administrative rules governing continued LNA status.

• B: Rulemaking authority derives from statute (RSA 326-B:9), not a private vendor agreement.
• C: The Board's Nur 400 rules are grounded in statutory rulemaking authority, not an unfounded executive order.
• D: Nur 400 rules stem from New Hampshire statutory authority, not a federal court order.

Correct answer: A. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA-87)

Correct. OBRA-87 established the federal requirement that nursing facility nurse aides complete state-approved training and pass a competency evaluation, now codified at 42 CFR Part 483 Subpart D.

• B: The Affordable Care Act primarily addressed health insurance coverage expansion, not nurse aide training standards.
• C: The ADA addresses disability-based discrimination protections, not nurse aide training requirements.
• D: The FMLA addresses job-protected leave, not nurse aide training and competency requirements.

Correct answer: A. 75 hours, which states may exceed

Correct. Federal regulations set 75 hours as the training floor; states remain free to require more, which many, including New Hampshire, do.

• B: 10 hours is well below the actual federal floor, and states are not capped at that low figure.
• C: 500 hours substantially overstates the federal floor, though some individual programs could exceed the minimum.
• D: There is a defined federal floor (75 hours); it is not left entirely to state discretion with no minimum at all.

Correct answer: A. Medicare and/or Medicaid-certified long-term care (nursing) facilities

Correct. The OBRA-87 nurse aide training and competency evaluation requirements apply specifically to nurse aides working in Medicare and/or Medicaid-certified long-term care facilities.

• B: Public schools are unrelated to the federal nurse aide competency evaluation requirement's facility scope.
• C: Restaurants are unrelated to nurse aide credentialing requirements.
• D: Auto repair shops are unrelated to nurse aide credentialing requirements.
