Each state and territory in the United States has a Nurse Practice Act and a board of nursing with the authority to define and regulate the practice of nursing. The board also has the authority to discipline nurses who break nursing laws and regulations (Boehning, 2022). This course presents the standards of safe nursing practice as outlined in the Ohio Nurse Practice Act and the rules of Section 4723 of the Ohio Administrative Code as written by the Ohio Board of Nursing in accordance with Section 4723 of the Ohio Revised Code.

OHIO BOARD OF NURSING AND OHIO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE

All licensed medical professionals, including licensed nurses, work under accepted standards derived from local, state, and federal laws as well as professional guidelines. The Ohio Board of Nursing (OBN) is an agency of government that was created by Ohio law. The OBN regulates the practice of nursing in Ohio by implementing rules for nursing education and practice based on the Nurse Practice Act (NPA). The rules are outlined in Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Section 4723. Chapters 1 through 27 of Section 4723 of the OAC establish regulations for licensure, standards of practice, discipline, and nursing education (OBN, n.d.-a).
