CE Course Description

Health care-related laws and regulations are essential to the administration of ethically driven health care that is both safe and effective. Therefore, each state has developed specific laws to help guide nurses administering care to patients. Due to the importance of state laws and regulations, nurses should be familiar with their state of licensure's health care-related laws and regulations to ensure they understand how to legally, ethically, safely and effectively administer health care to patients in need. This course reviews information regarding Florida's health care-related laws and regulations for nurses practicing in the state of Florida. This course also highlights the application of Florida's health care-related laws and regulations to patient care.
