Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
A board of nursing may be authorized to ask a court to halt a specific practice that it
believes is contrary to the law until a full hearing can be held. This is called injunctive relief.
This term refers to the court order called an injunction that requires an individual or
organization to stop a particular activity, such as practicing nursing. The investigation is
performed by the board, not the court. Revocation involves the removal of a license, and
suspension does not typically involve the courts.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The method of obtaining a license when the nurse is already licensed in another
jurisdiction is called licensure by endorsement; this is an alternative to license by examination.
This transfer is not termed reciprocal licensure or licensure by renewal.
