Question

a nursing instructor is discussing the regulation of nursing programs to a group of nursing students. which of the following information should the nursing instructor include?○ nursing program approval assures that the program is accredited.○ nursing programs are governed by the department of health and human services.○ nursing programs are approved by the states legislature.○ nursing programs are governed by the states board of nursing.

Explanation:

State boards of nursing are the regulatory bodies responsible for overseeing nursing programs within their jurisdiction, ensuring they meet state-specific standards for nursing education and practice. Accreditation is a voluntary peer-review process, not a regulatory requirement set by the instructor's core regulatory discussion. The Department of Health and Human Services does not govern nursing programs directly, and state legislatures set broader laws rather than governing program operations.

Answer:

D. Nursing programs are governed by the state's board of nursing.
