What must nurses do to fulfill a collaborative role?
1. Graduate with at least a baccalaureate degree.
2. Assume increased authority in practice areas.
3. Redesign unit policies to allow collaboration.
4. Lobby state boards of nursing to approve this collaborative role.
Correct Answer: 2
Collaboration without action is incomplete. In order for the nurse to benefit from collaboration, there is a need to assume accountability and increased authority in the area where the nurse practices. A baccalaureate degree is not required. It is not necessary to write specific unit policies to allow for collaboration. The state boards of nursing support the American Nurses Association standard on collaboration, so lobbying is not needed.
