A nurse is confused because a federal agency does not seem to be providing services according to the law. Another nurse explains that this can happen because
a. agencies do not work under any specific federal laws.
b. agency interpretation is needed to implement the law.
c. not all government agencies fall under specific laws.
d. there is considerable infighting among different agencies.
B
Agencies are charged with implementation of law according to their interpretation of the intent of the law, and agencies can change their procedures without revising the original law. Often, interpretation—and, hence, action—varies according to the personnel at the agency.
Agencies do work that falls under their jurisdiction according to law, whether that is at the state or federal level.
All government agencies fall under the auspices of some law.
Agencies have specific established functions and so would not be fighting among themselves over how each agency should do its job.
