Question 1 Type: MCSA
A nurse would like to advocate for a modification of the state’s nursing practice
act and believes the best strategy is to contact the persons with authority to
write and change this statutory law. Whom should the nurse contact?
1. State board of nursing
2. State governor
3. State legislature
4. State nursing association
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: State boards of nursing are involved in the implementation and
enforcement of the nurse practice act but not charged with writing the law.
Rationale 2: Governors may appoint members of those on the state board of nursing,
but are not involved in writing nursing practice acts.
Rationale 3: State legislative bodies create and pass the individual nursing
practice acts (statutory laws) and create state boards of nursing or state boards
of nurse examiners (state administrative agencies) to implement and enforce those
acts.
Rationale 4: State nursing associations may promote or seek to change nurse
practice acts, but they cannot do so independently.
Global Rationale:
Cognitive Level: Applying
Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment
Client Need Sub: Management of Care
Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Implementation
, Test Bank for Legal Ethical Issues in Nursing, 6th Edition by Ginny Wacker Guido
Learning Outcome: 1.1 Define the term law and describe four sources from which law
is derived, including constitutional, statutory, administrative, and judicial
(decisional) law.
Question 2 Type: MCSA
A patient brought suit against a hospital for injuries sustained in a fall. The
case went to trial and the jury found for the hospital. Can the patient take this
same suit and evidence to another trial court in hopes of a different decision?
1. No, because of the doctrine of res judicata
2. Yes, stare decisis allows retrial
3. Yes, because of the doctrine of precedent
4. No, this is a landmark decision
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Res judicata means “a thing or matter settled by judgment” and
applies when a legal dispute has been decided by a competent court of
jurisdiction. This doctrine prevents the same parties in the original lawsuit from
retrying the same issues involved in the first lawsuit.
Rationale 2: Stare decisis means to “let the decision stand” and is applied by
courts of law in cases with similar fact patterns that have been previously
decided by the court system.
Rationale 3: The doctrine of precedent means to “let the decision stand” and is
applied by courts of law in cases with similar fact patterns that have been
previously decided by the court system. Landmark decisions signify that precedent
is changed by the current court decision.
Rationale 4: Landmark decisions signify that precedent is changed by the current
court decision.
Global Rationale:
Cognitive Level: Analyzing
Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment
Client Need Sub: Management of Care
