A nurse is giving a lecture on the primary problem that decreases the power of both types of collective bargaining models. The nurse knows that the teaching has been effective when a col-league states:
a. "The small number of states that recognize either type of collective bargaining"
b. "The political influences of the American Hospital Association on nursing organiza-tions"
c. "The adversarial goals of each of the re-spective organizations or models"
d. "The lack of membership of the majority of practicing nurses"
D
Lack of membership of the majority of practicing nurses decreases the power of both types of collective bargaining models. Most people join an organization in response to a particular need. Almost 80% of nurses do not belong to any professional nursing organization. The traditional union based model is more adversarial than the nontraditional model. The American Hospital Association's political influence does not decrease or increase power in either model. The other options do not accurately show the primary problem that decreases the power of the collective bargaining models.
