ANS: A
Nurses should be advocates for the health of the population. In order to do this, nurse profes-sionals must have a working knowledge of government, health care law, the policy process, and the political forces that are shaping the future of health care. Policy does not affect nursing val-ues. Political science does not parallel nursing. Nurses are unable to interpret laws to fit their practice.
