Health Medical Homework Help

I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need a reference to help me learn.

Why has nursing made policy and political competence such a strong part of the nursing curriculum and role development?

Discuss at least 2 ways that you have been active as a policymaker or could be active.  Reflect on activities nurses can participate in to promote the nursing profession and patient outcomes, not at the workplace environment activities.   The focus for this question and throughout the course should be through the lens of professional nursing beyond the bedside.

1. Discuss at least 2 examples of advocacy you see that impacts your practice or in the practice of others.  Advocacy in this form does not refer to bedside advocacy on behalf of your patient. This item is specific to policy advocacy such as with your professional organization, with a consortium, etc.
2. Discuss several barriers to effective nursing advocacy.  What are ways to mitigate these barriers?

Discuss the importance of ethics in health care policy.
