Sagot :

Authority is the element of the decision making process that the nurse is exercising.

The term "authority" describes a formal, legal right to make final choices that are unique to a certain position. The phrases authority and power are incorrect synonyms when used in the practice of governance.

The term "authority" refers to the political legitimacy that confers and defends the ruler's right to exercise governmental power; the term "power" refers to the capacity to carry out an approved task, either through compliance or obedience; as a result, "authority" refers to the capacity to make decisions and the legal authority to do so and to order their execution.

The nurse is using his/her power to speak with other team nurses and create a more effective teaching plan. The ability to decide on a patient's personal treatment plans is known as autonomy.
