Answer to Question 1

A
Power is a good thing as stated by Gracian (1892, p.172): The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good. Nurses are more likely to see power as a positive thing and are more inclined to use this positive power to help others.

Answer to Question 2

D
Educating patients about their medications is the role of the nurse educator, not a political role. All other answers are political roles for nurses and come under the role of the nurses as an individual, nurse as citizen, nurse as activist, and nurse as politician.
