What is the role of the Board of Nursing (BON) in relation to the people of Texas?

  1. Providing preferential treatment to select individuals

  2. Regulating healthcare costs

  3. Protecting and promoting the welfare of the people

  4. Interfering with medical decisions

The correct answer is: Protecting and promoting the welfare of the people

The Board of Nursing (BON) in Texas is responsible for regulating the nursing profession and ensuring quality healthcare for the people of Texas. Option A is incorrect because providing preferential treatment goes against the BON's mission of protecting and promoting the welfare of all individuals. Option B is also incorrect because the BON does not regulate healthcare costs, but rather focuses on regulating the practice of nursing to ensure safe and effective care for patients. Option D is incorrect because the BON does not interfere with medical decisions but rather sets standards and regulations for nurses to follow in order to provide safe and ethical care to patients. Overall, the primary role of the BON is to protect and advocate for the health and well-being of the people of Texas.
