The advanced practice nurse is thinking of moving to another state. What information about regulation of advanced nursing practice is important for this nurse to consider?
1. Regulations are specified by each state.
2. This is a national regulation.
3. It is the same as the regulation of basic nursing practice within each state.
4. Specific, separate regulation for advanced practice is not necessary except for nurse anesthetists.
Correct Answer: 1
The ANA's position is that it is the function of the professional association, not the law, to establish the scope of practice for advanced nursing practice and that state boards of nursing regulate advanced nursing practice within each state. All levels of advanced practice nursing are subject to specific and separate regulations that are different from those that apply to basic level nurses.
