How does the BON differ from nursing and healthcare specialty associations?

It provides direct patient care
It oversees medical research projects
It ensures compliance with hospital policies
It protects and promotes the welfare of the people of Texas

The correct answer is: It protects and promotes the welfare of the people of Texas

The BON, or Board of Nursing, differs from nursing and healthcare specialty associations because it has a specific focus on regulating and protecting the nursing profession in the state of Texas. While nursing and healthcare specialty associations may also have a role in setting standards and advocating for nurses, they do not have the regulatory authority or jurisdiction that the BON has. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the main role of the BON. Option D, protecting and promoting the welfare of the people of Texas, is the main responsibility of the BON and sets it apart from other nursing and healthcare organizations.
