Answer 2

The correct statements made by nursing students about standards of care in nursing are: The Nurse Practice Act and administrative rules form the basis of the standard of care, the nurse's job description helps define the standard of care, and employers can limit the nursing scope of practice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statements made by the nursing students regarding standards of care in nursing are:

1. The Nurse Practice Act and administrative rules form the basis of the standard of care for nurses. The Nurse Practice Act is a state law that governs the practice of nursing and establishes the legal scope of practice for nurses. Administrative rules further define and clarify the standards of care.
2. The nurse's specific job description will aid in defining the standard of care. Each nursing job has a specific set of responsibilities and expectations, which can help determine the standard of care required for that role.
3. Employers can limit, but not expand, the nursing scope of practice. Employers have the authority to set policies and protocols that establish the limits and boundaries of nursing practice within their organization.
