A person with a history of chemical dependency on controlled substances who desires to obtain or retain a license to practice nursing may be required to provide evidence of

  1. criminal record

  2. health insurance

  3. current sobriety and fitness to practice

  4. traffic violations

The correct answer is: current sobriety and fitness to practice

Fully explaining why the other options are incorrect, in this scenario, health insurance and traffic violations do not pertain to a person's history of chemical dependency on controlled substances. A criminal record may be relevant to the situation, but it is not the main focus. The main focus is on current sobriety and fitness to practice, as this evidence would indicate that the person has overcome their past dependency and is able to safely and effectively practice nursing. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate and relevant answer.
