Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ANA recommends that revisions to nurse practice acts include differentiation between advanced and generalist nursing practice, authority for boards of nursing to oversee unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP), authority for boards of nursing to regulate prescription writing by advanced practice nurses, and clarification of nurses' responsibility for delegating to LPN/LVNs. These elements are essential for ensuring that the scope of practice is clearly defined, that there is appropriate oversight of nursing and assistive personnel, and that there are guidelines for delegation and prescriptive authority.
