Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: Licensure is the process of granting a legal permit to practice or engage in a profession, such as nursing.
Rationale 2: Competency is a level of acceptable performance, and credentialing ensures this in licensure. Certification is also part of credentialing. It validates that an individual has met minimum standards of nursing competency in a specialty area.
Rationale 3: Credentialing is the process of determining and maintaining competence in general nursing practice. It is one way to maintain the professional standards of practice and accountability for the members' educational preparation.
Rationale 4: Certification validates that an individual has met minimum standards of nursing competency in a specialty area.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Statutory laws are laws enacted by any legislative body.
Rationale 2: Administrative agencies are given authority to create rules and regulations to enforce statutory law when the state legislature passes a statute. State boards of nursing write rules and regulations to implement and enforce a nurse practice act, which was created through statutory law but is enforced by administrative law.
Rationale 3: Common law refers to laws evolved from court decisions.
Rationale 4: Public law refers to the body of law that deals with relationships between individuals and the government and governmental agencies.
