Nursing Jurisprudence and Ethics for Texas Nurses Practice Exam

A person with a history of chemical dependency on controlled substances who desires to obtain or retain a license to practice nursing may be required to provide evidence of

1. attendance at five Alcoholics Anonymous meetings each week

2. current sobriety and fitness to practice

3. good employer evaluations

4. support system of family and friends

The correct answer is: attendance at five Alcoholics Anonymous meetings each week

This is because attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings is a recognized form of treatment and support for individuals with a history of chemical dependency. While options B, C, and D may also be helpful in supporting one's recovery, they do not specifically address the issue of chemical dependency and may not hold as much weight in terms of evidence for the person's ability to practice nursing safely and responsibly. Attendance at AA meetings demonstrates a commitment to staying sober and seeking support from a community of individuals who are also in recovery.
