Question 1 Type: MCSA po po po




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




tegy is to contact the persons with authority to write and change this statutory law. Whom should the nurse
po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po




contact?

1. State board of nursing po po po




2. State governor po




3. State legislature po




4. State nursing association po po po




Correct Answer: 3 po po




Rationale 1: State boards of nursing are involved in the implementation and enforcement of the nurse practic
po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po




e act but not charged with writing the law.
po po po po po po po po




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




riting nursing practice acts. po po po




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




reate state boards of nursing or state boards of nurse examiners (state administrative agencies) to implement
po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po




and enforce those acts.
po po po




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




so independently.

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




onstitutional, statutory, administrative, and judicial (decisional) law. po po po po po po




Question 2 Type: MCSA po po po




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




nd for the hospital. Can the patient take this same suit and evidence to another trial court in hopes of a differe
po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po




nt decision?
po




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




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




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




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




Correct Answer: 1 po po




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




been decided by a competent court of jurisdiction. This doctrine prevents the same parties in the original law
po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po




suit from retrying the same issues involved in the first lawsuit.
po po po po po po po po po po




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




similar fact patterns that have been previously decided by the court system.
po po po po po po po po po po po




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




es with similar fact patterns that have been previously decided by the court system. Landmark decisions sign
po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po




ify that precedent is changed by the current court decision.
po po po po po po po po po




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