Nursing Jurisprudence and Ethics for Texas Nurses Practice Exam

What may the BON determine if a nurse is reported by two different employers for multiple practice errors?

1. Complies with the standard to provide nursing services without discrimination of the client served.

2. Indicates the nurse's continued practice poses a risk of harm and may endanger a client's life, health, or safety.

3. Results in immediate disciplinary action because the second complaint validates the first.

4. Violates professional boundary regulations because the nurse has two employers.

The correct answer is: Complies with the standard to provide nursing services without discrimination of the client served.

The correct answer is A because the Board of Nursing may determine if a nurse complies with the standard to provide nursing services without discrimination of the client served when reported by two different employers for multiple practice errors. This means that the BON will evaluate whether the nurse is providing care to clients without discrimination and according to the standard of practice. Option B is incorrect as the focus of the question is not on the risk of harm or endangering a client's life. Option C is incorrect because the second complaint does not automatically validate the first one. Option D is incorrect because having two employers does not necessarily relate to violating professional boundary regulations.
