The functions of the BON include

  1. advising currently licensed nurses about potential employment opportunities throughout the state.

  2. evaluating student applications for nursing school.

  3. lobbying members of the Texas Legislature to pass bills that are favorable to nurses.

  4. regulating the education, licensure, and practice of nurses in Texas to ensure the safety of the public.

The correct answer is: advising currently licensed nurses about potential employment opportunities throughout the state.

Although advising currently licensed nurses about potential employment opportunities is a common function of a board of nursing (BON), it is not the primary function. The BON is responsible for regulating the education, licensure, and practice of nurses in a specific state (in this case, Texas) to ensure the safety of the public. This includes evaluating student applications for nursing school and lobbying for favorable bills in the state legislature. Therefore, while option A may be one of the functions of the BON, it is not the main function and is not as essential in ensuring the safety of the public as the other options.
