Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Nurse Practice Acts are examples of statutory law, enacted by a legislative body in keeping with both the federal constitution and the applicable state constitution. They are the primary source of rules of conduct for nurses. Standards of practice, which differ from rules of conduct, are made by agency policies and protocols and by the American Nurses Association.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Each state has a Nurse Practice Act that protects the public by broadly defining the legal scope of nursing practice. A copy of the Nurse Practice Act for the state in which a nurse practices can be obtained from that state's board of nursing. Neither the federal government nor the National League for Nursing has copies of nurse practice acts.
