Assignment 4: Patient Advocacy
Considering the patient advocacy efforts of the nurse who was unjustly detained for refusing to comply with an unlawful request by law enforcement officers, interview a leader in a health organization eliciting an advocacy story highlighting the power of the nursing voice. Evaluate the power the nursing organization gives the individual nurse to advocate for health policy.
Based on the interview you conducted and what you have learned so far this week, create a PowerPoint presentation, which should be a minimum of 20 slides, including a title, introduction, conclusion, and reference slide, with detailed speaker notes. Your presentation should address context, purpose, core issues, and strategies for a solution. Use at least six scholarly sources.
Please use this textbook as one of the sources:
