title: Power: its use and potential for misuse by nurse consultants.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to examine the concept of power as it relates to human relationships, and the consultant-client relationship as a power relationship, which may be inherently one of unequal power. The types of power available to the consultant are examined, as well as how to get power, how to use it, and the potential for its misuse.
