Write 4 professionally written sentences for full credit.
TX BON RULE 217.11 is so important because this it has established the minimum level of information that
you must know to practice as an RN, or an LVN. If a nurse does not have an understanding of the NPA then
they will not be able to follow the rules, and ultimately, they will end up breaking the law. It is a nurse’s
responsibility to have the knowledge that is required to be a nurse this includes what steps need to be taken in

order to promote a safe environment for the patients they are taking care of. Patients rely on the nurse to
administer medications and treatments; it is the nurses responsibility to know how to administer those.
Part 2
Patient safety is always our number one priority. A nurse has a duty to the patient to ensure safety.
The “most important” actions a nurse can take is to follow the Rule 217.11 (1) (T) which- “holds
the nurse accountable to accept only those assignments that are within the nurse’s
educational preparation, experience, knowledge, and physical and emotional ability.” Now
that you are familiar with this rule, describe a time in which you were in a situation that violated this
rule. What would you do if you were placed in those circumstances again? Write 4 professionally
written sentences for full credit.
Although I have not worked as a RN yet, while I was in nursing school I was working as a PCT. I
was sitting for a patient and the nurse had to administer blood to the patient. While I knew that the
nurse had to stay in the room for the first 15 minutes during blood administration, I did not tell her
anything when she left as soon as she started the IV. She didn’t even take the vitals or ask me too.
After 5 minutes went by, I called for her to come back and she did. If I was ever in that position
again, I would tell the nurse before she leaves the room that she needs to stay by the patient for
the first 15 minutes, and if she’s busy then she needs to ask for help because that’s not fair for the
patient.
Part 3
Fill in the blanks
Complete the following fill in the blank sentences from your Module 2 Chapter 15 reading
requirement. Each answer is worth 5 points.
1). Law and nursing are both professions devoted to helping patients/clients and society by

2). The nurse has a duty to practice competently and to possess the knowledge, skills, and
abilities required for lawful, safe, and effective practice.
3). Informed consent cases are a type of malpractice suit.
4). In terms of accountability, nurses must take responsibility for their actions and the actions of
others involved in the delegation process.
