Answer to Question 1

A
Visioning involves engaging with others to assess the current reality, specify the end point, and then strategize to reduce differences. This requires trusting relationships that acknowledge the differences in values and ideas. When done well, the nurse and the nurses within a unit expe-rience creative tension that inspires working in concert to achieve desired goals.
