As a working professional, the nurse knows that one reason to join the American Nurses Association (ANA) is for which opportunity?
A) To participate in national discussions about resources
B) To gain local and national notoriety
C) To determine how to fight for resources locally
D) To advocate for resources through different business sources
Answer: A
Nurses must be aware of and participate in discussions that affect the allocation of healthcare resources in the workplace, in their communities, and at the federal level. Nurses are uniquely placed to advocate on behalf of clients when allocation of resources is being considered in their communities. They may advocate by talking with local legislators, writing to politicians, and engaging in discussions in their neighborhoods and social groups. As working professionals, nurses have the opportunity to participate in national discussions about resources through a number of professional organizations, such as the American Nurses Association.
