Creating a policy to allow nurses to remove chest tubes
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is participating on a committee that is considering the creation of a policy that will allow nurses to remove chest tubes. Which of the following is an appropriate resource for the nurse to consult in planning for this policy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: State nurse practice act. The state nurse practice act outlines the scope of practice for nurses within a specific state, including the procedures they are allowed to perform. Since removing chest tubes is a clinical procedure, consulting the state nurse practice act will provide the specific regulations and guidelines regarding this practice.
B: ANA Standards of Practice focuses on general standards for nursing practice, not specific procedures like chest tube removal.
C: ANA Code of Ethics pertains to ethical principles and moral obligations for nurses, not procedural guidelines.
D: Institute of Medicine may provide general healthcare recommendations but not specific guidance on nursing procedures.
Therefore, the best resource for the nurse to consult in planning for the policy on chest tube removal is the state nurse practice act.
