Answer to Question 1

C
When a state board of nursing develops rules that specify the duties of registered nurses in that state, that board is demonstrating administrative branch law at the state level. An example at the state level of legislative branch law would be the Nurse Practice Act. An example of judicial branch law at the state level would be courts and juries deciding whether a nurse's actions and behaviors comply with the law governing the practice of nurses in the state.

Answer to Question 2

A
Shay (2005) noted a number of reasons why the implementation of the electronic medical record has been slow in the United States. Some of these factors include: the federal antiKickback statute, HIPAA, antitrust laws, stark antireferral (not antidefamation) rules, and concerns about malpractice exposure.
