the following statements are correct?
|\ |\ |\ |\
Select all that apply. |\ |\ |\

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
include grounds for disciplinary action, licensure
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
requirements, and the rights of the nurse licensee if |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
disciplinary action is taken. |\ |\ |\
The Nurse Practice Act defines the scope of nursing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
practice.
All nurses have the responsibility to know the provisions
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of the act for the state or province in which they work.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
The Nurse Practice Act is a series of statutes enacted by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the federal government in order to regulate the practice

The Nurse Practice Act defines the scope of nursing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
practice.
Rationale:
Nurse practice acts (NPAs) contain a provision that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
creates and empowers a state board of nursing to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
regulate nursing practice in that state. All 50 states, the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
,District of Columbia, and the four U.S. territories have
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
established nursing boards. Although NPAs can vary from |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
state to state, they all have standard components
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
because states used ANA guidelines in developing their
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
regulations.
A state’s nurse practice act usually includes the following:
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
The authority of the board of nursing, its composition,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and powers|\
A definition of nursing and the boundaries of nursing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
practice
Standards for the approval of nursing education programs|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
The requirements for licensure of nurses
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Grounds for disciplinary action against a nurse’s license
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
The nurse knows that which of the following scenarios are
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
common reasons for disciplinary action against practical
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
nurses by the State Board of Nursing? Select all that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
apply.
Failure to administer medications as prescribed.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Violation of client confidentiality. |\ |\ |\
Poor attendance record.
|\ |\
Engaging in personal relationships with clients.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Failing to maintain continuing education requirements.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Failure to administer medications as prescribed.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Violation of client confidentiality. |\ |\ |\
Engaging in personal relationships with clients.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Failing to maintain continuing education requirements.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Rationale:
,Failure to administer medications as prescribed. This is a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
valid reason for disciplinary action against practical
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
nurses. Failing to administer medications as prescribed
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
can harm clients and violate nursing standards and client
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
safety protocols. |\
Violation of client confidentiality. This is a valid reason for
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
disciplinary action against practical nurses. Violating
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
client confidentiality by sharing client information without
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
proper authorization or justification breaches client
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
privacy and can lead to legal and ethical consequences.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Engaging in personal relationships with clients. This is a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
valid reason for disciplinary action against practical
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
nurses. Engaging in personal relationships with clients is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
considered unprofessional and can compromise client |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
care, boundaries, and ethical standards.
|\ |\ |\ |\
Failing to maintain continuing education requirements.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
This is a valid reason for disciplinary action against
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
practical nurses. Nursing boards often require practical
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
nurses to participate in continuing education programs to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ensure ongoing competency and keep up-to-date with
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
advancements in the field. Failing to meet these |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
requirements can result in disciplinary action, which |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
indicates a lack of commitment to professional growth
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Which of the following are components of the definition of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
critical thinking?
|\ |\
Select all that apply. |\ |\ |\
Reasoned thinking |\
Openness to alternatives |\ |\
Adherence to established guidelines |\ |\ |\
, Ability to reflect |\ |\
Loyalty to traditional approaches |\ |\ |\
Desire to seek the truth |\ |\ |\ |\
Reasoned thinking |\
Openness to alternatives |\ |\
Ability to reflect |\ |\
Desire to seek the truth |\ |\ |\ |\
Rationale:
Critical thinking is a combination of reasoned thought,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
openness to alternatives, the ability to reflect, and a |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
desire to seek the truth. There are many definitions of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
critical thinking. It is a complex concept, and people think
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
about it in different ways. Any situation that requires
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
critical thinking is likely to have more than one “right”
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
answer. You do not need critical thinking to add 2 + 2 and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
come up with the solution. However, you do need critical
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
thinking for problem-solving essential decisions. A crucial
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
aspect of critical thinking is the process of identifying and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
checking your assumption. This is also a necessary part
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of the research process. Critical thinking is a combination
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of reasoned thought, openness to alternatives, the ability
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to reflect, and a desire to seek the truth.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
The licensed practical/vocational (LPN/VN) nurse is caring
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for a client with cardiac arrest and assisting the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
registered nurse (RN) in identifying priorities and |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
delegation. As the LPN/VN assists with assigning roles to |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
other staff, this is demonstrating which leadership style?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
A. Authoritative
|\
B. Situational
