Answer to Question 2

C
The critical thinking process that nurses use to gather, interpret, share, and apply information is what
transforms their information into power. Power in nursing is created through the relationships nurse
develop. What makes power come alive is commitment. Empowerment includes the concepts of choice
and control to implement changes in attitudes, nursing practice, and health care structures.
