The correct answer is Option A. Nursing practice is uniform and standardized across the United States.
Here, option A is correct because the nursing practice is guided by the Model Nursing Practice Act and Model Nursing Administrative Rules which are created and implemented by National Council of State Nursing Boards and also Nurse Licensure Compact allows the nurses to practice nursing across states through recognition and licensure. The standardization is also ensured by educational training NCLEX-RN examination conducted by National Council of State Nursing Boards , which on successful passing grants license to practice nursing and ensure that all nurses through the board have standardized skill set and knowledge. This helps to get the standardization and uniformity of nursing practice across United States.
Option B. is incorrect as the legality and state laws do not support nursing actions based on jurisdiction and a uniform code of conduct and standards are set by state nursing boards in agreement throughout the United States.
Option C, D and E are incorrect nursing action and morality in terms of legal framework and code of ethics is not defined and supported.
