Advocacy and the nurse manager.
This paper analyses the advocacy role of the nurse manager, defining terms and emphasizing the need for a rational appraisal of risks before advocacy is undertaken. Power analysis is offered as a theoretical basis for estimating risk and for tactical planning. Outcomes from a small-scale qualitative research study are also presented, in order to stimulate a wider debate on the principles underpinning safe and ethical practice in advocacy.
