Nursing coalitions can be more effective than individual advocacy.
Practice this chapterNursing coalitions can be more effective than individual advocacy. Nurses have an ethical responsibility to advocate for change to support populations most at risk for inequities.

Worked example
What does “coalition” mean in Advocating for Population Health?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for coalition.
- 2The book says: a group of people with shared vision or concerns such as nurses or nursing associations and other groups that join forces to support a cause.
- 3Do not use the meaning of advocacy. That term means an act of support on behalf of another for a cause that improves health for persons and/or populations.
Result: a group of people with shared vision or concerns such as nurses or nursing associations and other groups that join forces to support a cause
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for coalition.
Do not swap coalition and advocacy. coalition means a group of people with shared vision or concerns such as nurses or nursing associations and other groups that join forces to support a cause. advocacy means an act of support on behalf of another for a cause that improves health for persons and/or populations.
