• Describe      strategies to address disclosure and nondisclosure as identified in the      scenario you selected. Be sure to reference laws specific to your state.
• Explain      two strategies that you, as an advanced practice nurse, would use to guide      your decision making in this scenario, including whether you would      disclose your error. Be sure to justify your explanation.
