Explanation: 1. All except wearing a crisp, white uniform are incorrect because they work against the
professional image of nursing. Without acting like the professionals those in nursing are, there
will be no power image. Assertive behavior, being respectful when addressing a client or
colleague, and critically thinking about each order are appropriate behaviors for nursing
professionals.
