The nurse educator asks the student whether the American Nurses Association supports striking as a strategy when collective bargaining breaks down. Which response, made by the student, reflects the best understanding of the ANA's position?
1. "No, the organization holds that striking is not professional."
2. "Only when no direct client care is delivered in the area affected by work stoppage."
3. "Only when the daily operation of the healthcare facility is not compromised."
4. "Yes, as a means of achieving economic and general welfare."
Correct Answer: 4
The ANA supports striking as a means of achieving economic and general welfare. Striking is used when collective bargaining breaks down, and is not effective unless the daily operations of the facility are compromised. There is nothing in the ANA support that indicates it is limited to non-client care areas.
