Both the federal government and state government have administrative laws that affect nursing. The Code of Federal Regulations has rules that health care organizations must adhere to if they are to qualify for federal funding. Likewise, state laws are interpreted in administrative rules that specify licensing requirements for health care providers in the state. Protecting employees from violence is covered under federal law and mandating requirements for nursing education is covered under state law.
