ANSWER

Good evening Professor Tinch and Class,

I am familiar with the state of New Jersey Nurse Practice Act. The Nurse Practice Act (NPA) is a set of laws that define the scope of nursing act in each state. NPA’s safeguard the public’s health, protection, ad well-being. This involves safeguarding the public from unqualified and dangerous nurses.

This federal law is overseen by local nursing boards (The State of New Jersey, 2022). ……please click the icon below to purchase full answer at $5
