The nurse has decided to contact state legislators regarding support for a health bill. Which is true about such requests?
1. Drop-in visits to the legislator's office are very effective.
2. Faxed copies of a form letter have the most impact.
3. Legislators should be addressed informally by first name.
4. Letters should be thoughtful and informed, but concise.
Correct Answer: 4
Letters written to legislators should be thoughtful and informed, but concise. For the greatest impact, these letters should be written individually instead of using form letters. Legislators should be addressed by title and surname, not first name. If the nurse wishes to visit the legislator in person, an appointment should be made. Drop-in visits are not appropriate.
