Reading reflection approximately 1 paragraph in length chapters 86,
After reading chapters 86 and 87, I was particularly interested in the discussion of the role of interest groups in shaping policy and the potential conflicts of interest that may arise. It is important for interest groups to have a voice in the policy-making process, but it is also crucial that policymakers maintain their independence and prioritize the needs of the public over the interests of any particular group. This topic relates to MSN Essential VIII, which emphasizes the importance of understanding the healthcare policy process and how it impacts the delivery of healthcare services. Nurses must be aware of the various interest groups that may influence healthcare policy and advocate for policies that prioritize patient needs and safety.
