Hildegard Peplau was a nursing theorist who promoted the interpersonal theory between patient and nurse.

Mary Mahoney was a nurse who broke racial barriers and became the first African American registered nurse in the United States.

Hattie Bessment was a nurse who promoted nursing education and research.

Linda Richards was the first professionally trained nurse in the United States and established the first nursing school in Japan.

The State nurse practice act outlines the legal scope of practice for nurses in a particular state, including the tasks and procedures that nurses are authorized to perform. Therefore, if the nurse is unsure whether a particular procedure falls within their scope of practice, the State nurse practice act is the best source of information to consult. The nurse should review the act to determine whether they have the necessary knowledge, skills, and authority to perform the procedure safely and legally.

Regional nurse practice acts and community nurse practice acts may provide additional guidance but are not as authoritative as the State nurse practice act.

While Google may provide some information, it is important for the nurse to rely on reliable and authoritative sources of information to ensure safe and effective patient care.
