Question 2

Type: MCMA

In which situation would it be necessary to re-regulate practice?

Standard Text: Select all that apply.

1. Nurses are asked to cross-train to another specialty.

2. An insurance company opens a nationwide nurse call line.

3. The hospital hires unlicensed assistive personnel.

Correct Answer: 2,5

Rationale 1: This is a redesign practice used by many organizations to compensate for the nursing shortage.

Rationale 2: The use of telemedicine requires re-regulating professional practice because nurses can use this technology to provide care in situations in which the patient is in a different state from the one where the nurse is licensed and located.

Rationale 3: This is a redesign practice used by many organizations to compensate for the nursing shortage.

Rationale 4: This is an example of restructuring in which nursing education attempts to prepare nurses for the “real world.”

Rationale 5: This mobility would result in the nurses working in different states from where they live and are licensed.
