Answer One:
It depends on the management of where you are working. As always in the workplace, your role changes by what you do there and not necessarily by your degree. However, there are some things that the LPN is not licensed to do like you are, and in that case you should be over them.
Answer Two:
Answer one is correct. For instance. My office does not perform direct patient care. Our staff are more "paper" nurses. The team leader for our office is an LPN. Therefore related to our business that LPN is over several RNs.
However clinically each nurse is responsible for what they do in their own scope of practice.
