A nurse may not be reported to the BON, may not have his or her license sanctioned by the BON, and may not be suspended or terminated from his or her employment for either appropriately invoking Safe Harbor or for advising another nurse of their right to invoke Safe Harbor. These are

protections for a nurse who requests a peer review determination
optional benefits for senior nurses
disciplinary actions for non-compliance
mandatory requirements for new nurses

The correct answer is: protections for a nurse who requests a peer review determination

These protections are specifically for a nurse who invokes Safe Harbor, which is a process for requesting a peer review determination about a particular nursing practice. This protection is not an optional benefit for senior nurses, nor is it a disciplinary action for non-compliance. It is also not a mandatory requirement for new nurses. These protections only apply to a nurse who appropriately invokes Safe Harbor or who advises another nurse of their right to do so.
