4)

The conflicting images of nursing make it more important to develop a definition; they may also make it
more difficult, but not to the extent that constant change does. Healthcare is constantly changing and
with it come changes in where, how, and what nursing care is delivered. Constant changes make it
difficult to develop a definition. Although different nursing organizations have different definitions, they
are similar in most ways. The different education pathways affect entry into practice, not the definition
of nursing.

Nurses are trusted professionals and the largest health professional group. As such, they have political
power to effect changes. If nursing were a small group, there would be little potential for power in
shaping policies, even if all the other answers were true. Serving the public, while positive, does not
necessarily help nurses to be influential in establishing health policy. Independence from physicians,
although positive, does not necessarily make nurses influential in establishing healthcare policy.
Refuting negative media, although positive, does not necessarily make nurses influential in establishing
healthcare policy.
