What must a nurse whose license has expired do before practicing again?

  1. A. Complete a refresher course

  2. B. Notify their previous workplace

  3. C. Undergo a mental health assessment

  4. D. may not practice until the license has been renewed

The correct answer is: D. may not practice until the license has been renewed

When a nurse's license has expired, they can no longer practice until they have successfully renewed it. Options A, B, and C do not address the main issue at hand, which is the need for a valid and current license. Completing a refresher course or notifying a previous workplace may be helpful but it does not replace the need for a renewed license. Undergoing a mental health assessment may be necessary for a nurse's overall well-being but it is not a requirement for license renewal. Therefore, the most appropriate and accurate answer is D, which highlights the need to renew the license before resuming practice.
