Setting standards of entry into a profession

Representing coworkers during disciplinary meetings with an employer
c.
Self-evaluating practice
d.
Determining expectations regarding scheduling practices
ANS: A

A Correct! Self-regulation is a privilege granted to a profession by a provincial or
territorial government. Setting standards of entry into the profession is one
aspect of self-regulation.
B Incorrect—This is usually the responsibility of a labour union.
C Incorrect—The “self” in “self-regulation” refers to the profession as a whole, not
the individual worker.

union.

a.
A provincial regulatory body
b.
A national nursing association
c.
A nurse practitioner regulation
d.
The Criminal Code of Canada
ANS: A

Feedback
A Correct! A provincial regulatory body (or the legislation under which it falls)
will describe and define the nature and scope of nursing practice.
B Incorrect—A national nursing association has no direct regulatory role regarding
the nature and scope of nursing practice.
C Incorrect—A nurse practitioner regulation identifies the scope of a specific
category of nurse but does not clarify the nature and scope of nursing practice.

nursing practice (indictable offenses, such as criminal negligence) but does not
clarify the nature and scope of nursing practice.

DIF: Cognitive level: Analysis

3. What is the main difference between a two-tier regulatory system for nurses and a single-tier
system?
a.
A two-tier system ensures due process in the complaint resolution process.

, b.
A single-tier system does not deal with complaints about a nurse’s practice.
c.
A single-tier system is not self-regulatory.
d.
A two-tier system has a regulatory branch underneath a higher level body.
ANS: D

Feedback
A Incorrect—Whether a system is two-tier or single-tier is irrelevant to due
process.
B Incorrect—Both single-tier and two-tier systems have mechanisms for managing
complaints about a registrant’s practice.
C Incorrect—Both single-tier and two-tier systems are based on self-regulation.
D Correct! A two-tier system has a regulatory branch underneath a higher level
body. The higher level body may be involved with complaints and appeal and

provincially created regulatory body has a complete legislative mandate.
