A nurse realizes that nurse-run clinics demonstrate increasing economic value in nursing because they
a. allow these nurses to set their own salaries.
b. create value by filling unmet health needs.
c. focus on nurses' economic competitiveness.
d. provide new job opportunities for nurses.
B
Based on the principles of stakeholder cooperation and emergent competition, nurse-run clinics are an example of increased economic value in nursing, because they fill an unmet need.
Setting one's own wage or salary is definitely a perk, but this does not provide evidence of economic value.
Economic competitiveness implies winners and losers and does not show system-wide value.
Nurse-run clinics are a source of new job opportunities for nursing, but this is not related to demonstrating economic value.
