Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, C, D

Boards of nursing oversee nursing licensure by defining professional standards, investigating violations of the nurse practice act, sanctioning those who violate the nurse practice act, and suspending or revoking licenses. The National Council for the State Boards of Nursing creates the NCLEX-RN examinations. The state board of nursing is not responsible for finding treatment programs for drug-impaired nurses.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The standardized language of the NOC allows nurses to describe nursing problems, treatments, and outcomes in a consistent manner that is understood by all nurses. The NOC was not devised to make outcomes easier or more professional looking. Outcomes are based on data already collected and do not facilitate data gathering.
