This assessment requires you to describe the legislative process and the role of the nurse as a healthcare
policy advocate. Your paper will consist of two parts:

A clear and complete discussion of the legislative process
Part 2:
You will choose one of the political issues listed in Burkhardt & Nathaniel on pages 392-393 (see atached)

Please avoid the following topics, as these do not demonstrate research into current legislation in
health care and are more “hot button” issues that do not often result in a strong paper:
