Which of the following would NOT be required to establish a nursing peer review committee to conduct nursing peer review according to Section 303.0015 of the Nursing Peer Review Law?

  1. Hospital with 15 employed nurses

  2. Medical clinic with 5 practicing nurses

  3. Independent school district employing 7 nurses (4 RNs and 3 LVNs)

  4. Large healthcare facility with 20 nurse practitioners

The correct answer is: Independent school district employing 7 nurses (4 RNs and 3 LVNs)

A nursing peer review committee is required to review the practice of nurses and report any violations to the appropriate regulatory authority. In order to establish such a committee, the organization must meet certain criteria, including having a minimum number of employed nurses. While options A, B, and D all meet this requirement, option C does not have enough employed nurses to establish a nursing peer review committee according to the Nursing Peer Review Law. Therefore, C is the correct answer as it is the only option that does not meet the necessary criteria.
