Think about the state regulatory board for nursing in Wisconsin. What are the primary

, The primary element regulated by a state's board of nursing is licensure.
Related to licensure are other key areas such as scope of practice and
disciplinary actions. Because health policy is the result of an authorized,
public decision-making process and regulatory agencies are some of the
types of institutions in the United States that are authorized to make such
decisions; the board of nursing through its administrative rule-making
authority sets health policy. Thus, regulations related to licensure, scope of
practice, and discipline, among others, are examples of health policy.
State legislatures enact laws that establish boards of nursing. The functions
of the board are described by the nurse practice act of each state. The
boards of nursing license nurses, oversee training programs, and interpret
and enforce statutory law.
