Explanation:

Nurses Monica and Leonard are making a decision about patient - related matters (medications like pain relievers) without input from others. Negotiation involves discussion and compromise with others, communication is about sharing information, and coordination is about organizing activities with others. Since they are making a decision alone, it is an example of shared authority where they have the power to make decisions within their scope of practice without seeking external input for this particular task.

Answer:

D. shared authority
