Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reading the nurse practice act for the state in which she is employed. The nurse uses the information in this act for which purpose?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is '
To be aware of the role of the licensed nurse.' Nurse practice acts outline the scope of practice for nurses, defining what constitutes nursing practice and the role of licensed nurses.
Choice A is incorrect because hospital and long-term care facility policies are institution-specific and not typically covered in the nurse practice act.
Choice B is incorrect as the scope of practice for nurses is a part of the nurse practice act, but it's not the sole purpose for a nurse to refer to it.
Choice C is incorrect as health care policies in a state are governed by other legislative acts, not the nurse practice act.
