Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Care coordination that involves the intersection of individual,family,and community-based needs requires that nurses have self-confidence,knowledge of organizations and health systems,and an inner desire to lead and manage.There is often a view that leadership is isolated to those holding managerial positions,and that a direct care nurse is subject to following by adhering to the direction of others.Such views fail to acknowledge that to be a nurse requires each licensed individual to lead,manage,and follow when practicing at the point-of-care and beyond.
