1PROFESSIONAL ROLES AND VALUESA.The nursing theory that has influenced the personal goals and values is the Orem’s self-care theory.Nurses apply this theory by promoting the self-care among the patients with self-caredeficits. It may be promoted by various means such as education, compensation, empathy andsupport. Education on medication and its side effects, or illness related aspects, treatment plan,health-promoting behaviours such as exercise, or taking appropriate nutrition can promote theself-care habits in patients such as being aware of treatment or rehabilitative measures (Riegel etal., 2012).The theory fits in the professional practice as I focus on assessing each individual'sability to perform the self-care independently. When working with people with disability ingeriatric care to meet their self-care needs, I use this theory. It includes activities of daily livingand others. B.The two historical nursing figures in the 19th or 20th century are Florence Nightingale andMargaret Sanger. Contributions of the Florence Nightingale include nursing aspects for injured militarypatients that emphasised on the sanitation, prevention of infection and other environment theorythat are widely influential. On the other hand, Margaret Sanger contributed towards nursing specialised for apregnant woman to prevent miscarriages. She opened her first birth control clinic in the US and
2PROFESSIONAL ROLES AND VALUESfounded American Birth control league. She also contributed to prescription of contraceptives bydoctors (Forrester, 2016). Both the contributions influence the professional practice. The environment theory by theFlorence Nightingale helps me promote the hygiene awareness in the patient and focus onpreventing the risk of infection. Similarly, nursing work of Margret Sanger influences myadvocacy for birth control. To implement any effective change in the health care organisationand to work towards right cause she is my inspiration. C.1. The state board of nursing plays a crucial role in the protecting the welfare and healthof public. It ensures that licensed nurses provide safe and competent care. To achieve thismission, the board has outlines the standards for safe nursing. It also issues the license to practicenursing (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). On the other hand, the American Nurses Associationrecognises the responsibility of the boards of nursing and reserves the issues related to the nurselicensure by holding hearings, investigating the complaints. This organisation stands in theforefront to improve the quality of health care for all. Its role is to advance the nursing professionby fostering high standards of nursing practice. The organisation promotes the safe and ethicalwork, bolsters the health and wellness of nurses and advocates on the health issues affecting thepublic and nurses (Winland-Brown et al., 2015). 2. The first organisation helps to practice the nursing acts and standards. The secondorganisation helps me by giving confidence to raise concerns on behalf of the patients in regardsto incompetent care and unsafe practices. From 2009-2011, the organisation has been helpful inresponding to the concerns of the Texas hospital nurses. In case of national significance, the

I can take resources and referrals from the ANA if alertedby the state board of nursing of a complaint or legal notification. 3.The requirement for license renewal in my state are having no default on the a TexasGuaranteed Student Loan, meeting all the mandatory requirements of continuing nursingeducation, not having been selected for audit or any criminal background check and havingmatched the licensed number, and the social security number with the board’s files (Young,2016). The consequence of failure to meet the requirement of the state is no longer able topractice nursing. 4. In case of compact states, the nurse does not need to obtain the license again in theother member state to practice nursing. It is also regarded as a multi-state license. The same isnot the case of the non-compact states. The nurses must again obtain license in the new statesstating the license requirements of the previous state and inform both the new and previous stateboard of nursing. It will need the change in the multistate nursing license to single-state status(Ashton, 2016). D.FDA or Food and Drug Administration is the federal agency in the US. FDA regulatesthe sale of medical device products; cosmetics and food products. It regulates food and drugsafety. Any company must receive approval from FDA for selling the particular food or drugproduct to ensure it is safe and effective (Huston, 2013).
