Answer three questions related to your opportunity as a nurse and an advocate. The first two questions
relate to influencing a bill that is traveling through the legislative process. The third question refers you to
the social determinants of health and asks you to think specifically on your role as a nurse in influencing
social determinants of health. Answer the following questions:
1- What parts of the lawmaking process does a nurse have an opportunity to influence the final bill
passage?
2- List at least two ways that this influence can take place. In your opinion, would one way be preferable
over the other?
- Reviewing the social determinants of health, select one to respond to this question:
3- What role can nurses play in promoting health status through policy changes directly affecting this
social determinant?
Write each question as a new topic area and then follow with a paragraph or two to answer the question.
