Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Abuse of power in nursing can manifest in various forms, including quid pro quo (where something is given or withheld in exchange for something else, often seen in harassment cases), incivility (rude or unsociable speech or behavior that disrupts the workplace environment), and lateral violence (aggressive and destructive behavior or psychological harassment of nurses against each other). Client care assignments and staff meeting scheduling, while important aspects of nursing practice, do not inherently illustrate abuse of power unless they are manipulated in a way that harms others.
