The National Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses is an agency that offers specialty certification in IV therapy and gerontology. Choose the option that lists this organization.

• A. Administrative Medical Assistants
• B. Ophthalmic Medical Assistants
• C. American Midwifery Certification Board
• D. National Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses

Answer: (D)

Specialty certification for practical nurses is provided by professional nursing organizations, and the organization that offers certification in IV therapy and gerontology is the National Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses. This group focuses on advancing LPN practice and validating advanced skills in areas like IV therapy and gerontology, exactly matching the certifications described. The other organizations relate to different fields—administrative medical assistants, ophthalmic medical assistants, and midwifery certification—so they aren’t the bodies that certify LPNs in those specialties.
