Nurses
often become motivated to change aspects within the larger health care system
based on their real-world experience. As such, many nurses take on an advocacy
role to influence a change in regulations, policies, and laws that govern the
larger health care system.
For

organization that has the capacity for advocacy through legislation. Research
the issue and use the “Advocacy Through Legislation” template,
attached, to complete this assignment.
You are
required to cite a minimum of three sources to complete this assignment.
Sources must be published within the last 5 years, appropriate for the
assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice. 
While
APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic
writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA
formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in
the Student Success Center. 
This
assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the
assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful
