Y JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




contact the persons with authority to write and change this statutory law. Whom should the nurse contact?
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




1. State board of nursing JY JY JY




2. State governor JY




3. State legislature JY




4. State nursing association JY JY




Correct Answer: 3 JY JY




Rationale 1: State boards of nursing are involved in the implementation and enforcement of the nurse practice act but
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




not charged with writing the law.
JY JY JY JY JY




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




nursing practice acts. JY JY




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




state boards of nursing or state boards of nurse examiners (state administrative agencies) to implement and enforce
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




those acts. JY




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




independently.

Type: MCSA JY




Guido, Legal and Ethical Issues in Nursing,6 edition, Tes Bank
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y JY






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




hospital. Can the patient take this same suit and evidence to another trial court in hopes of a different decision?
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




1. No, because of the doctrine of res judicata
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




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




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




4. No, this is a landmark decision
JY JY JY JY JY




Correct Answer: 1 JY JY




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




decided by a competent court of jurisdiction. This doctrine prevents the same parties in the original lawsuit from
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




retrying the same issues involved in the first lawsuit.
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




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




patterns that have been previously decided by the court system.
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




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




similar fact patterns that have been previously decided by the court system. Landmark decisions signify that precedent
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




is changed by the current court decision.
JY JY JY JY JY JY




Rationale 4: Landmark decisions signify that precedent is changed by the current court decision.

JY JY JY JY JY




Client Need Sub: Management of Care
JY JY JY JY JY




Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment JY JY JY JY




Learning Outcome: 1.2 Compare and contrast the doctrines of precedent (stare decisis) and res judicata.
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




Question 3 JY JY




Type: MCSA JY




The circumstances of a lawsuit cause it to be under the jurisdiction of more than one court. In this case, the nurse
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




expects that which court will have the greatest personal jurisdiction?
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




1. Federal Supreme Court JY JY




2. Federal district court JY JY




3. State supreme court JY JY




4. State trial court JY JY
