Advocacy in nursing refers to a situation where a nurse agitates for a patient’s rights whenever they are violated (Jarpe et al., 2019). NMC (2018a) outlines that nurses can represent a patient in search of justice, especially when the patient lacks capacity or is absent from family members. This can occur in courts or voicing a patient’s concern to the hospital management for action. Jarpe et al. (2019) noted that a nurse advocate helps patients get quality care and be protected from staff mistreatment. Although I did not report Margret’s case to any authority, the action I took to ensure that the nurse concerned clarified the instructions qualifies me to be an advocate.
