for Nursing
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 Examination
does not distinguish practice responsibilities.

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.
