1. An LPN licensed in another U.S. jurisdiction wants to obtain
Florida licensure through endorsement. Which situation best
supports eligibility through Florida's MOBILE endorsement
pathway?
A. The applicant has an expired out-of-state license but worked as an
LPN five years ago.
B. The applicant holds an active, unencumbered license in another state,
has passed a national licensure examination, and has actively practiced
for at least two years during the four years immediately preceding
application.
C. The applicant has never held an LPN license but completed a nursing
assistant program.
D. The applicant holds a suspended license but has submitted a letter
explaining the suspension.
Answer: B
Rationale: Florida's MOBILE endorsement pathway requires an
active, unencumbered license from another state, territory, or the
District of Columbia in a profession with a similar scope, a passing
national licensure examination or qualifying national certification,
and at least two years of active practice during the four years
immediately preceding the application. Applicants who do not meet the
1
,two-year practice requirement may instead pursue licensure by
examination and transfer passing NCLEX scores where applicable.
2. An LPN applicant applying for Florida endorsement has an active
license in another state but has not practiced nursing for the past
four years. What is the most appropriate consideration?
A. The applicant automatically qualifies because the license is active.
B. The applicant qualifies if a Florida employer agrees to supervise the
applicant.
C. The applicant may need to apply by examination rather than relying
on the MOBILE endorsement pathway.
D. The applicant only needs to complete a medication-administration
course.
Answer: C
Rationale: Florida's MOBILE endorsement pathway specifically
requires at least two years of active professional practice during the
four-year period immediately preceding application. The Florida
Board indicates that an applicant who lacks two years of active
practice may apply by examination and transfer passing NCLEX
scores from NCSBN.
3. Which statement most accurately describes an "unencumbered"
nursing license for Florida endorsement purposes?
A. A license that has never been renewed.
B. A license with restrictions imposed by a disciplinary board.
C. A license that is active and not subject to disciplinary limitations that
restrict practice.
D. A license that has been inactive for more than five years.
Answer: C
Rationale: An active, unencumbered license means the nurse has
authorization to practice without a disciplinary restriction or similar
2
,limitation that affects the license. Florida specifically identifies an
active, unencumbered license as a requirement for MOBILE
endorsement.
4. An LPN applying for Florida endorsement is asked to provide
license verification. What is the purpose of this verification?
A. To establish the nurse's preferred employment setting.
B. To confirm the status and history of the applicant's nursing license.
C. To determine the applicant's preferred nursing specialty.
D. To replace the required background screening.
Answer: B
Rationale: Florida requires applicants to contact the state boards in
which they have held licenses and request license verification to be
sent to Florida. If the issuing state provides online verification
containing disciplinary information, Florida may accept that
verification.
5. Which action is specifically associated with Florida's current
initial nursing licensure background-screening process?
A. Submission of a handwritten fingerprint card only.
B. Electronic fingerprinting through a Livescan service provider.
C. Fingerprinting only after the first renewal.
D. Fingerprinting only when applying for an RN license.
Answer: B
Rationale: Florida currently requires electronic fingerprinting for
initial nursing licensure. Applicants use a Livescan service provider,
with fingerprints submitted for Florida and national criminal-history
screening.
6. A Florida LPN applicant has a prior criminal conviction. Which
approach is most appropriate?
3
, A. Omit the conviction if it occurred several years ago.
B. Report the conviction and provide required supporting
documentation.
C. Report only felony convictions.
D. Report it only if an employer asks.
Answer: B
Rationale: Florida states that applicants with criminal history must
disclose applicable offenses and may be required to provide
documentation such as a personal explanation, final disposition
records, and records demonstrating completion of probation or other
sanctions. Failure to disclose criminal history can affect licensure.
7. A nurse receives a medication order that appears to contain an
unusually high dose. What should the LPN do first?
A. Administer it because the provider prescribed it.
B. Ask another patient whether the dose seems correct.
C. Hold the medication and clarify the questionable order through the
appropriate clinical chain of communication.
D. Change the dose independently.
Answer: C
Rationale: Patient safety requires the nurse to identify and resolve
questionable medication orders before administration. An LPN should
not independently alter a prescription but should promptly clarify the
order with the prescribing provider or appropriate supervising nurse
according to facility policy.
8. Which patient should an LPN assess first?
A. A patient requesting assistance with bathing.
B. A patient with chronic arthritis reporting mild morning stiffness.
C. A patient with new-onset difficulty breathing and oxygen saturation
