Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Licensure is one of the main responsibilities of state boards of nursing, and a nurse
seeking a license to practice in a particular state must obtain a license from that state's board of
nursing. Schools of nursing, the ANA, and the NCSBN do not directly grant licensure.
Multiple Selection

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
State boards of nursing perform multiple functions, including examination and
licensure of nurses. Participation in labor negotiations, advertising to increase awareness of the
profession, and specifying the way that care is provided are activities that are normally beyond
the purview of a state board of nursing.
