Answer to Question 2

B
Power struggles regarding access and distribution of resources often occur when those controlling
access and distribution of resources fail to understand the roles and responsibilities of others outside
their position or when they create an internally competitive work environment. The hard realities of
power in relation to any profession and those who hold it have to be confronted in order for the
profession to survive, much less advance. In times of rapid change, even the experienced nurse may
have difficulty adjusting.
