When nursing colleagues clash over patient advocacy approaches

My charge nurse and I have completely different philosophies about patient advocacy and it's affecting how we handle family requests, and yesterday she overruled my clinical judgment in front of the family and I don't know if I should escalate this or try to work it out with her directly but either way we can't keep undermining each other.
