In Texas, which body is responsible for regulating the practice of nursing?

  1. American Nursing Association

  2. National Council of State Boards of Nursing

  3. Texas Board of Nursing

  4. Texas Medical Association

The correct answer is: American Nursing Association

The American Nursing Association (ANA) is not responsible for regulating the practice of nursing in Texas, as it is a national organization and each state has its own specific board that oversees nursing practice within its jurisdiction. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) also does not regulate nursing practice in Texas, as it serves as an advisory body to state boards of nursing. The Texas Medical Association also does not regulate the practice of nursing, as it primarily focuses on the medical profession. The correct answer, the Texas Board of Nursing, is responsible for overseeing the practice of nursing within the state and ensuring that nurses follow state laws and regulations.
