ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.BY Adrianne E. Avillion, DEd, MSN, RN; Persis Mary Hamilton, EdD, MSN, BSN, RN, PHN, PMHNLEARNING OUTCOME AND OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this continuing educationcourse, you will have increased your knowledge of the standards of safe nursing practice asoutlined in the Ohio Nurse Practice Act and the rules of the Ohio Administrative Code as writtenby the Ohio Board of Nursing in accordance with Section 4723 of the Ohio Revised Code.Specific learning objectives to address potential knowledge gaps include: Describe the Ohio Scope of Practice Decision-Making Model. Compare the roles of the Ohio Board of Nursing and Ohio professional associations. Summarize the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses. Discuss the standards for competent nursing practice of RNs and LPNs in Ohio. Explain standards for the promotion of patient safety by licensed nurses in Ohio. Contrast the RN and LPN standards for applying the nursing process in Ohio. Describe violations of nursing laws and rules that may result in disciplinary action.The establishment of standards for nursing education and practice is the result of efforts bynursing associations that began over 100 years ago. Currently in each state or territory, a lawknown as the Nurse Practice Act designates an authoritative body that defines and regulatesthe nursing practice of every nurse in every role. This authoritative body, known as a board ofnursing, is responsible for ensuring that nurses who practice in the state for which they haveresponsibility are competent, safe, skilled, and knowledgeable about the standards set forth inthat state’s scope of practice for nurses (NCSBN, 2018). This course presents those standardsfor the state of Ohio written by the Ohio Board of Nursing in accordance with the NursePractice Act.
wildirismedicaleducation.comOhio Nurse Practice Act (2 Hours)OHIO BOARD OF NURSING AND OHIO ADMINISTRATIVECODEAll licensed medical professionals work under accepted standards derived from local, state, andfederal laws as well as professional guidelines. Licensed nurses are no exception. Their scope ofpractice is defined by the Nurse Practice Act (NPA) of the state in which they practice. In Ohio,the NPA is codified in Section 4723 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC). It establishes an OhioBoard of Nursing (OBN) and defines its structure and function.Ohio Board of Nursing (OBN)The Nurse Practice Act (ORC 4723) authorizes the OBN to make and enforce rules andregulations for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, dialysis technicians, and advancedpractice nurses (certified nurse-midwives, certified nurse practitioners, certified nurse specialists,and certified registered nurse anesthetists). In 2003, community health workers were placedunder the jurisdiction of the OBN.MISSION AND MEMBERSHIPThe mission of the Ohio Board of Nursing is to “actively safeguard the health of the publicthrough the effective regulation of nursing care” (OBN, 2019a). It accomplishes this mission byestablishing educational criteria for schools of nursing, promulgating rules to regulate the scopeand practice of nursing, issuing licenses, and disciplining licensees who fail to follow the rules.Board members are public officials and meetings are open to the public. The board is made up ofthirteen members: eight registered nurses, four licensed practical nurses, and one consumerappointed by the governor. At least two of the registered nurses shall hold a current, valid licenseissued under the ORC that authorizes the practice of nursing as an advanced practice registerednurse. The board has the legal authority to administer and enforce all provisions of the NPA. Itmust review each rule within the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) at least once every fiveyears. The board is funded and supported by mandatory licensure fees paid by nurses wishing topractice legally in the state of Ohio. The board does not have authority over employers (ORC4723.02).SCOPE OF PRACTICEBecause nursing is a dynamic practice, questions may arise about whether certain tasks arewithin the nurse’s scope of practice. All nursing care should be consistent with the nurse’spreparation, education, experience, knowledge, and demonstrated competency.The Ohio Board of Nursing has developed a Scope of Practice Decision-Making Model to helpnurses determine whether a task is within their scope of practice. The model uses a decision treewith references and is based on legality, competency, safety, and accountability. 2019 WILD IRIS MEDICAL EDUCATION, INC.2
wildirismedicaleducation.comOhio Nurse Practice Act (2 Hours)OBN SCOPE OF PRACTICE DECISION-MAKING MODELThe Scope of Practice Decision-Making Model includes the following steps:1. Defining and describing the activity/task that is to be performed2. Determining whether the activity/task is within the scope of practice and not precludedor prohibited by any other law or rule3. Evaluating self-competency to perform the activity/task; meet the standards of safenursing practice; and demonstrate current knowledge, skills, and abilities4. Assessing the safety and appropriateness of performing the activity/task at this time5. Preparing to accept accountability for nursing actionsEach of these steps must be answered with a “yes” before proceeding to the next step. If at anypoint an answer is “no,” the nurse must not perform the action (OBN, 2015).CASE: Scope of Practice Decision-MakingMycee is a licensed practical nurse (LPN) with five years of experience who has recentlymoved from Indiana to Ohio. This is her first shift on a surgical floor following orientation, andshe is responsible for five patients who are 1 to 4 days post-op. A new order has been writtenfor Mr. Hansen, who is receiving patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). The order is for a changein PCA dosage.In Indiana, Mycee was not restricted from performing this task, but she does not recall whethershe is allowed to do so in Ohio. Since she can’t look up the Ohio Administrative Code rightnow to see if the task is within her scope of practice, she consults with her charge nurse. Thecharge nurse tells Mycee that this is not within the scope of the LPN in Ohio. As a registerednurse (RN), the charge nurse addresses the new order.Later, when Mycee has a break, she refers to “Using the Scope of Practice Decision-MakingModel” and then visits the Ohio Administrative Code website indicated in that document. Shereads Chapter 4723-17-03 (A) (4) of the code, which describes the role of the LPN inintravenous therapy procedures. There she finds that an LPN may not “program or set anyfunction of a patient-controlled analgesic,” thereby confirming that the task is not within herlegal scope of practice in Ohio.Applying the Model YourselfTake a moment to think of a situation that could arise in your practice. Then ask yourself thefollowing five questions. If you cannot answer yes to questions 2 through 5, you should notundertake the action. 2019 WILD IRIS MEDICAL EDUCATION, INC.3

Does the nurse practice act in my jurisdiction permit me to perform this task?3. Do I have current, evidence-based knowledge and skills to correctly and safelyperform what I am being asked to do for this patient?4. Is this the most appropriate action to take for this patient at this time?5. Do I accept accountability for completing this task?Ohio Administrative CodeThe rules of the Board of Nursing regulate nursing practice in Ohio and are contained inSection 4723 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC).

wildirismedicaleducation.comOhio Nurse Practice Act (2 Hours)CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR RENEWAL FOR RNs and LPNsFor the period immediately following Ohio licensure by NCLEX examination, the nurse is notrequired to complete any contact hours of CE for the first license renewal. Other than the firstrenewal immediately following licensure by exam, nurses must complete at least 24 contacthours of CE that includes at least one contact hour of Category A CE for each renewal. A nursewho has been licensed in Ohio by reciprocity for less than or equal to one year prior to the firstOhio license renewal must complete at least 12 contact hours, rather than 24 (OBN, 2019b).PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONSOne of the hallmarks of a profession is that its members band together in collegial association toprovide a variety of services for its members. These services include such things as continuingeducation, collective bargaining, legislative advocacy, and information about the profession.These organizations are not set up by state laws or through the government.The American Nurses Association is the nationwide professional organization representing theinterests of nurses. In Ohio, professional associations include the Ohio Nurses Association,Licensed Practical Nurses Association of Ohio, Ohio Association for Advanced Practice Nurses,Ohio State Association of Nurse Anesthetists, and state chapters of other specialty associationssuch as perioperative nurses, critical care nurses, nephrology nurses, dialysis technicians, andother groups. Typically, associations are run by boards of trustees elected by members who payvoluntary membership dues.OHIO NURSES ASSOCIATION MISSIONThe mission of professional associations is characterized by that of the Ohio NursesAssociation (ONA).Its mission is to advance professional nursing in Ohio. This will be accomplished through: Evolving evidence-based practice Influencing legislators Promoting education Improving economic and general welfare Advocating for quality healthcare in a cost-effective and economicallystimulating manner(ONA, 2016) 2019 WILD IRIS MEDICAL EDUCATION, INC.5
wildirismedicaleducation.comOhio Nurse Practice Act (2 Hours)The primary difference between the Ohio Board of Nursing and professional organizations is thatprofessional organizations have no legal authority, whereas the Ohio Board of Nursing hasauthority because it was established by the Nurse Practice Act with the unambiguous function ofpromoting and protecting the health of citizens through safe nursing practice (OBN, n.d.).CODE OF ETHICS FOR NURSESIn addition to abiding by the laws established in the Nurse Practice Act, every member of aprofession is expected to read, understand, and abide by the ethical standards of its occupation.In the case of nursing, the American Nurses Association publishes the Code of Ethics forNurses with Interpretive Statements to guide nurses’ professional practice.The following provisions of the code broadly describe the ethical obligations of nurses:Provision 1. The nurse practices with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity, worth,and unique attributes of every individual.Provision 2. The nurse’s primary commitment is to the patient, whether an individual, family,group, community, or population.Provision 3. The nurse promotes, advocates for, and protects the rights, health, and safety ofthe patient.Provision 4. The nurse has authority, accountability, and responsibility for nursing practice;makes decisions; and takes action consistent with the obligation to provide optimal care.Provision 5. The nurse owes the same duties to self as to others, including the responsibility topromote health and safety, preserve wholeness of character and integrity, maintain competence,and continue personal and professional growth.Provision 6. The nurse, through individual and collective effort, establishes, maintains, andimproves the ethical environment of the work setting and conditions of employment that areconducive to safe, quality health care.Provision 7. The nurse, in all roles and settings, advances the profession through research andscholarly inquiry, professional standards development, and the generation of both nursing andhealth policy.Provision 8. The nurse collaborates with other health professionals and the public to protecthuman rights, promote health diplomacy, and reduce health disparities.Provision 9. The profession of nursing, collectively through its professional organizations,must articulate nursing values, maintain the integrity of the profession, and integrate principlesof social justice into nursing and health policy.(ANA, 2015) 2019 WILD IRIS MEDICAL EDUCATION, INC.6
