The BON differs from nursing and healthcare specialty associations in which of the following ways?

It lobbies for legislation favorable to the practice of nursing.
It offers liability insurance at discounted rates for members.
It protects and promotes the welfare of the people of Texas.
It sets criteria for evaluating nursing career ladders.

The correct answer is: It lobbies for legislation favorable to the practice of nursing.

The BON, or Board of Nursing, differs from nursing and healthcare specialty associations in that it is specifically responsible for regulating the practice of nursing within a state, rather than promoting the interests of a specific area of nursing or healthcare. Option B is incorrect because liability insurance is typically offered by specialty associations, not regulatory boards. Option C is incorrect because the BON's primary focus is on regulating nursing practice, rather than promoting the welfare of the general population. Option D is incorrect because the BON sets standards and criteria for nursing education and licensure, but not for career ladders within the profession.
