The purpose of learning the ropes of policy, politics and advocacy is to influence health care or broader social agendas that influence human health. Discuss a time where you influence health care through advocacy.
Please use these as guidelines:
• Point out the impact of economic, political, and legal and ethical issues on the development and evolution of health care policies
• Determine the effects of healthcare policy on nursing roles and healthcare delivery
• Promote policies that incorporate ethical principles and standards for the use of health and information technologies
• Advocate for patients, families, caregivers, communities and members of the healthcare team
