1. Which national agency is responsible for providing
recommendations on nursing practice issues in the
educational environments?
A. Pew Health Professions Commission
B. The Joint Commission
C. Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
D. National Council Licensure Examination
Answer: A
Rationale: The Pew Commission distinguishes between
the practice responsibilities of the graduates educated
in each of the different educational environments (Pew
Health Professions Commission, 1995). The Joint
Commission requires that hospitals ensure the
competence of all employees. In 1987, Congress passed
the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, which
regulates agencies receiving federal funds and includes
an amendment regulating the education and
certification of unlicensed assistive personnel who
work in nursing homes. The National Council Licensure

apply.
A. Requires 75 hours of theory and practice to be certified.
B. Role emphasizes safe client environment.
C. State agencies responsible for oversight vary.
D. Certification is under the jurisdiction of the federal
government.
E. National regulation of hours exists in other areas of long-
term care.
Answer: A, B, C
Rationale: October 1, 1990, all people working as nursing
assistants in nursing homes (hospitals and assisted
living units were not included) would be required to
complete a minimum of 75 hours of theory and practice
and pass both a theory and practice examination to be
certified. Certification falls under state jurisdiction but
is guided by federal regulations. In many states, the
hours of preparation required exceed the 75 hours
established by federal law. The state agency
responsible for certifying and maintaining the list of
nursing assistants varies from state to state; most
commonly, it is the board of nursing or the state
department of health services. Certification of nursing
assistants is determined at the state level. There are no
national regulations in other areas of long-term care.
