Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Some of the disadvantages that are part of membership in a collective bargaining group, such as a union, that nurses should be aware of before joining are: there is reduced allowance for individuality; other union members may outvote your decisions; individual employees may not agree with the collective voice; unions may be perceived by some as not being professional; and there is less room for personal judgment. The statement that the union contract guides standards is considered a positive aspect of unionization/collective bargaining groups.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D
The four essential dimensions of nursing that can be used to advocate for nursing as a profession to stakeholders or to any audience are: 1) what nursing is; 2) what distinctive services nurses provide to consumers; 3) how nursing benefits consumers, including improvement in nurse-sensitive outcomes; and 4) what nursing services cost in relation to other health care services.
