A nurse who contacts a physician to clarify a medication order is - ✔✔fulfilling a duty to keep
the patient safe.
A BON investigator in the enforcement division collected evidence that supports the BON's
formal charges against a nurse regarding violations of the NPA and board rules. Attempts to
notify the nurse via standard and certified mail at the nurse's last address of record have been
returned to the BON office as being "undeliverable or not at this address." Since the investigator
has been unable to communicate with the nurse about the BON's formal charges, Board Rule
213.16(i) on Practice and Procedure requires that - ✔✔the case proceed and the board's charges
be deemed to be true.
When the BON considers imposing disciplinary action, it is most concerned with the nurse
consistently - ✔✔acting in the best interest of clients
A nurse quits his job, and submits a written notice at the end of his shift, telling his supervisor
that he will not be back at work the following morning. The supervisor tells the nurse he has to
complete the entire month's schedule or he will be committing "patient abandonment," and will
be reported to the BON. This is - ✔✔false. Quitting a job at the end of a shift is not considered
"patient abandonment" by the BON and is not grounds for reporting to, or action by, the BON.
Which of the following would indicate that an applicant for licensure is likely to possess the
good professional character necessary to hold a nursing license in Texas? - ✔✔the applicant
provides satisfactory evidence that he/she has not committed a violation of the Nursing Practice
Act or a Board rule
