Question 1 l




Type:MCSA
l l




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




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




1. State board of nursing l l l




2. State governor l




3. State legislature l




4. State nursing association l l




Correct Answer: 3 l l




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



not charged with writing the law.
l l l l l l




Rationale 2: Governors mayappoint members of those on the state board of nursing, but are not involved in writing
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



nursing practice acts.
l l l




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



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



those acts.
l l




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



independently.

l l l l l



Client Need Sub: Management of Care
l l l l l

Learning Outcome: 1.1 Define the term law and describe four sources from which law is derived, including constitutional,
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



statutory, administrative, and judicial (decisional) law.
l l l l l l




Question 2 l




Type:MCSA
l l

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




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




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




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




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




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




Correct Answer: 1 l l




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



decided bya competent court of jurisdiction. This doctrine prevents the same parties in the original lawsuit from
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



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




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



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




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



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



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




Rationale 4: Landmark decisions signifythat precedent is changed bythe current court decision.
l l l l l l l l l l l l l




Global Rationale: l

l l l l l



Client Need Sub: Management of Care
l l l l l




Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment l l l l



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




Question 3 l



Type:MCSA
l l




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




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

3. State supreme court l l




4. State trial court l l
