To update npm, all you need to do is npm update -g like you would do without nvm. nvm is simply a node version manager that lets you develop on a specific node version easily (and without needing the root permission).
To update node, it's nvm install node.

And with npx you have even fewer steps: none. 😉
I believe npm and npx have difference use cases.
