C
Each state's Nurse Practice Act is regulated by state laws. It would be important for the politi-cally active nurse to contact state lawmakers and advise them of the pending legislation and the ramifications that would occur if institutional licensure replaced individual licensure—for in-stance, lack of regulation of safe nursing practice. The Nurse Practice Act is not regulated by city, county (parish), or federal legislative bodies.
