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
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




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




1. State board of nursing
J J J




2. State governor J




3. State legislature J




4. State nursing association
J J




Correct Answer: 3 J J




Rationale 1: State boards of nursing are involved in the implementation and enforcement of the nurse practice act but not
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




charged with writing the law.
J J J J




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




nursing practice acts.J J




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




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




acts.

Rationale 4: State nursing associations maypromote or seek to change nurse practice acts, but they cannot do so
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




independently.

Question 2 J J




Type:MCSA J




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






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




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




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




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




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




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




Correct Answer: 1 J J




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




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




the same issues involved in the first lawsuit.
J J J J J J J




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




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




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




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




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




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

Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment

Client Need Sub: Management of Care
J J J J J




Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment J J J J




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




Question 3 J J




Type:MCSA J




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




that which court will have the greatest personal jurisdiction?
J J J J J J J J




1. Federal Supreme Court J J




2. Federal district court J J




3. State supreme court J J




4. State trial court J J
