Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Although most states have similar practice acts, each individual state has its own Nurse Practice Act that regulates the licensure and practice of nursing within that state. Knowledge of the Nurse Practice Act is necessary to provide safe and legal nursing care.
Standards of nursing practice are not specific to a city, but rather to the profession itself.
Although the clinical ladder of mobility may be of interest in regard to professional advance-ment, it is not the most important factor when practicing nursing in another state. Knowledge of the Nurse Practice Act in order to provide safe and legal nursing care is of higher importance.
Regardless of where a nurse practices, the nurse should strive to remain current.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
The American Nurses Association (ANA) hires lobbyists at the state and federal level to promote the advancement of health care and the economic and general welfare of nurses.
State Boards of Nursing primarily focus on licensure of nurses within their own state.
The American Hospital Association does not focus on nurses' economic issues and the advance-ment of the role of nurses.
The National Student Nurses Association focuses on issues of importance for nursing students.
