Please discuss the four spheres (workplace/workforce, government, associations and interest groups, and community) of political action in nursing. In addition, please develop a brief argument sharing how these spheres are interconnected and overlapping by applying an example from your practice (I currently work in a teaching hospital as a nurse case manager and pursing a master in nursing education).  What are some ethical considerations here?
