The Nurse as Advocate

In a Microsoft Word document of 4-5 pages formatted in APA 7 style, you will describe the advocacy process. Whether nurses are advocating for their patients, health care, and/or policies that improve people’s lives, the advocacy processes have commonalities that transcend the subject of their advocacy. There are also differences, although these differences may be more nuanced than obvious.

• Taking Action: A Nurse in the Board Room
