Answer to Question 2

A

based on one's knowledge, skills, and abilities that one consistently demonstrates in practice settings.
Second is to be introduced and promoted to a group as an expert, thus validating one's expertise. The
position a nurse holds in a group is called legitimate power. The extent to which nurses network and
are connected with others having power is called connection power.
