Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The state board of nursing is responsible for regulating the practice of nursing, including issuing and revoking licenses. Driving under the influence can be considered a violation of the nurse's professional conduct and may result in disciplinary action by the board, including suspension or revocation of their license. The Employee Assistance Program may provide support and resources to the nurse but does not have regulatory authority over their license. The state court system may impose legal penalties but does not have direct authority over the nurse's license. The American Nurses Association is a professional organization that may provide guidance and support but also does not have regulatory authority over licenses.
