Answer to Question 1
B
Nurses who are considering consulting or collaborating with an attorney should be aware of certain aspects of the nurse-attorney relationship and work toward being clear up front about what they need and expect. LaDuke (2000) has provided some excellent advice for nurses who may be considering consulting or working with an attorney. They are: 1) retain a legal specialist (not a generalist); 2) set your own course (insist on a collaborative relationship for the duration of the case, not merely letting the attorney do all the decision making without a collaborative relationship); 3) keep costs sensible (know what your fees will be, how you will be billed, and whether a retainer fee is required); and 4) examine everything in writing (everything needs to be explained clearly by your attorney and all examined in written form).
Answer to Question 2
D
Shared governance is the process that formalizes and insists upon collaboration among the members of
the health care team and confirms that the patient is the center of care. It is also a means by which
power can be equalized because it is more evenly distributed among the team members. It is not a
means by which inappropriate behaviors or processes are confronted, criticized, or affirmed.
