A nurse is unable to be actively involved in attending meetings at the state level. Which action would be most useful for the nurse?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Grassroots cooperation can influence decisions. A high number of communications from individual constituents via email, telephone, or postal mail have great influence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Internal nursing action is from within the agency, such as holding an important management position. Nurses can support and use nursing research that demonstrates positive clinical and economic outcomes. Such action also serves to validate the importance of nursing within the health system. External strategies can include participation in discussions regarding aspects of care or seeking employment in entrepreneurial practices.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Laws that all must obey include legislative law (E), regulatory agency rules and regulations (F), and judiciary rulings regarding the law (B). Although physicians may delegate a task, a physician cannot delegate responsibility, and police directions or employer requirements are not legally binding unless tied to specific laws.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The report led to the Health Objectives Planning Act of 1990 (D) and the federal government monitoring health goals (E). Other options were not direct outcomes of the 1979 report.
