The Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission may issue advisory opinions in response to questions put to it by professional health associations, nursing practitioners and consumers concerning the authority of advanced registered nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nursing assistants to perform particular acts.
