Question 1 Type: MCSA pn pn pn




A nurse would like to advocate for a modification of the state’s nursing practice act and believes the best
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



strategy is to contact the persons with authority to write and change this statutory law. Whom should th

e nurse contact?
pn pn




1. State board of nursing pn pn pn




2. State governor pn




3. State legislature pn




4. State nursing association pn pn p




n Correct Answer: 3 pn pn




Rationale 1: State boards of nursing are involved in the implementation and enforcement of the nurse pra
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ctice act but not charged with writing the law.
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn




Rationale 2: Governors may appoint members of those on the state board of nursing, but are not involved
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



in writing nursing practice acts.
pn pn pn pn




Rationale 3: State legislative bodies create and pass the individual nursing practice acts (statutory laws) a
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



nd create state boards of nursing or state boards of nurse examiners (state administrative agencies) to im
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



plement and enforce those acts. pn pn pn pn




Rationale 4: State nursing associations may promote or seek to change nurse practice acts, but they cannot

Question 2 Type: MCSA pn pn pn




A patient brought suit against a hospital for injuries sustained in a fall. The case went to trial and the jur

y found for the hospital. Can the patient take this same suit and evidence to another trial court in hopes of

a different decision?
pn pn pn




1. No, because of the doctrine of res judicata

2. Yes, stare decisis allows retrial
pn pn pn pn




3. Yes, because of the doctrine of precedent
pn pn pn pn pn pn




4. No, this is a landmark decision
pn pn pn pn pn p




n Correct Answer: 1 pn pn




Rationale 1: Res judicata means “a thing or matter settled by judgment” and applies when a legal dispute
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



has been decided by a competent court of jurisdiction. This doctrine prevents the same parties in the orig
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



inal lawsuit from retrying the same issues involved in the first lawsuit.
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn




Rationale 2: Stare decisis means to “let the decision stand” and is applied by courts of law in cases with
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



similar fact patterns that have been previously decided by the court system.
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn




Rationale 3: The doctrine of precedent means to “let the decision stand” and is applied by courts of law in
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



cases with similar fact patterns that have been previously decided by the court system. Landmark decisi
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ons signify that precedent is changed by the current court decision.
