Explanation: 1. Nurses directly affect their power image by maintaining expertise, working collaboratively,
getting to know influential people, and asking questions. Nurses must affect this image
personally, not through their clients or other disciplines. In addition, others in health care
should address nurses on the same level as they address us. Therefore, if Dr. Smith is ?Dr.
Smith,? then Nurse Jones should be ?Nurse Jones? around others.
