Legislators might not be well informed about every issue, so they need and want important information. The nurse should allow time for questions or clarification of information shared and have the material on a handout for the legislator's convenience. The nurse should not waste time with small talk but briefly present his or her stand, emphasizing other nurses who support the bill, because numbers count. It is also helpful to invite the legislator to attend nursing conferences or meetings where health issues will be discussed.
