What aspect of nursing does the Model Nurse Practice Act specifically address?

The Model Nurse Practice Act specifically addresses the standards and regulations governing the licensure, practice, and discipline of nurses within the state. It outlines the legal framework for the profession, including the scope of practice, responsibilities of practice, and the mechanisms for disciplinary actions against nurses who violate standards of care or ethical guidelines.

Disciplinary actions are critical in ensuring that nursing practice meets the necessary legal and professional standards, thereby protecting the public and maintaining the integrity of the nursing profession. This may include processes for investigating complaints, taking action against nursing licenses, and determining the appropriate responses to violations of practice standards.

The other options, while relevant to various aspects of nursing management, do not fall under the direct scope of the Model Nurse Practice Act. They are more focused on operational and performance-related elements rather than the regulatory framework governing nursing practice itself.
