Texas Board of Nursing (BON) Practice Exam 2025 – All-in-One Guide to Excelling in Your Licensure Exam!

During an investigation, the Board of Nursing (BON) keeps the identity of the person submitting a complaint against a nurse confidential. This is to protect the privacy of both the person submitting the complaint and the nurse under investigation. Options A and D are incorrect because they involve publicly disclosing the identity, which can have negative consequences for the person submitting the complaint and the nurse. Option C is also incorrect because the BON does not reveal the identity unless necessary for the investigation. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate and ethical way for the BON to handle the identity of the complainant during an investigation.
