Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Collaboration without action is incomplete. In order for the nurse to benefit from collaboration, there is a need to assume accountability and increased authority in the area where the nurse practices. A baccalaureate degree is not required. It is not necessary to write specific unit policies to allow for collaboration. The state boards of nursing support the American Nurses Association standard on collaboration, so lobbying is not needed.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Negotiation is a give-and-take process between individuals and groups to work out differences of opinions regarding the best solution to an issue. Negotiation is a standard strategy used to influence political decisions. Demanding change and complaining to peers are not meaningful ways to influence others. Acting as a group is more successful than acting as an individual.
