Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Licensure is important because it ensures that a licensed nurse meets a basic level of excellence in practice and knowledge. Licensing laws, often referred to as Nurse Practice Acts, protect the public from unqualified workers. Licensing laws establish a minimum level of requirements for competence and practice. Obtaining licensure helps the public determine the difference between a qualified and unqualified worker.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
State licensing laws have individual variations, but all nurse practice laws state that it is illegal for any nurse to practice nursing for pay without a license. Practice acts differentiate between LPN/LVN and RN licenses. This regulation is called mandatory licensure. The mandatory law designates the functions, duties, and responsibilities of the nurse and the use of the title nurse. Mandatory licensure requires that a nurse cannot perform the functions designated as exclusive to nursing without proper licensure in that state. Practicing nursing without a license is called permissive licensure, but rarely occurs today. Advanced certificates and credentialing are available in areas of registered nursing after initial licensure.
