Negotiating is a strategic process used to move conflicting parties toward an outcome.Parties must see the possibility of achieving an agreement and the costs of not achieving an agreement.As a systems allocator,the nurse distributes limited health care resources according to a plan or rationale.Mediating is the process of assisting parties to understand each other's concerns and to determine their conclusion of the issues.The mediator has no authority to decide,whereas an arbitrator is legally allowed to suggest an appropriate outcome.
