1. The state

Correct Answer: 1
States utilize their boards of nursing to regulate the roles of the advanced practice nurse. Each state determines the requirements for licensure of the APN, including the use of a particular title and the definition of the scope of practice. The federal government, the National League for Nursing, and the International Council of Nurses have nothing to do with APN licensure.
