A nurse attempts to become more involved in the political
process. Which of the following statements accurately describes
the political arena in which this nurse may become involved?
Correct Answers Nurses can be involved in the political process
as individuals, but they are far more effective when working in
groups.
Legislators consider the views of individual constituents when
making political decisions. However, the views of organized
groups are more likely to influence a policymaker. Most
traditional nursing organizations are nonprofit groups and
therefore are limited in their political activity. PACs are
registered as political action groups and are free to try to affect
the political process. Nurses may testify as individuals.

(NANDAI). Which of the following areas of the nursing process

regarding this topic.
A nurse has become aware of sweeping changes that are
proposed for the state budget which may have ramifications for
the funding of the inner-city clinic where the nurse provides
care. In order to influence the decision-making process the nurse
should first Correct Answers clearly communicate her views on
the matter to the appropriate legislators
One of the most basic, and important, ways to influence the
political process is to explicitly communicate ones views to the
government leaders who determine policy. Examining the
efficiency of the clinic is a useful exercise but not one that is
likely to influence political decisions. It is likely premature and
alarmist to go to the media or begin telling clients that their care
is in jeopardy.
A nurse has been working in pediatrics for 6 years since
graduating from an accredited nursing school. The nurse is now
interested in pursuing American Nurses Credentialing Center
certification as a pediatric Clinical Nurse Specialist. What factor

knowledge and skills in beyond those required for licensure as
an RN
ANCC certification is a method of recognizing nurses who have
special expertise. Applicants must demonstrate current practice
, and knowledge beyond that required for licensure as an RN.
Enrollment in a doctoral program is not necessary. Marks from
nursing school, the opinions of supervisors, and the completion
of research do not form the basis for certification.
A nurse has expressed her intention to draft a letter to her state
senator but the nurses colleagues have characterized this effort
as a waste of time and energy. Which of the following
statements provides the most accurate rationale for nurses
involvement in the political process? Correct Answers
Involvement in the political process can lead to the effective
allocation of resources.
With many voices competing to be heard in the decision-making
circles of any nation, the person who understands power and
politics, and who participates in this process, is the one most
likely to obtain the resources needed to accomplish desired ends.
Political involvement is not primarily motivated by the desire to
increase the status of nurses and/or women and it is not simply
an activity performed out of obligation or responsibility.
A nurse has initiated a letter-writing campaign in an effort to
increase the funding for school nursing programs in local high
schools. A colleague of the nurse, however, has pointed out that

the relationship between federal funding and local healthcare
programs? Correct Answers Decisions around the allocation
for federal funding are often made at the local level.
