      b. Counseling a new nurse regarding attendance
      c. Adjusting assignments after a staff member calls in sick
      d. Calling a physician for new order clarification
      ANS: A
      Leaders act as role models and mentor new staff. The other options are incorrect because they
      are management responsibilities and not leadership roles.
      DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: page 6<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Which nursing actions demonstrate the role of management in nursing?
      a. Encouraging autonomous decision making
      b. Observing the documentation of appropriate charges to patients
      c. Assisting in a code
      d. Asking the patient\/family about advance directives
      ANS: B
      Managers are responsible for the budget of their units. The other options are incorrect because
      those are leadership or mentoring roles .
      DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: page 6<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Much like a politician, a nurse manager must exhibit leadership that inspires and motivates. In
      which instance is a nurse demonstrating leadership qualities?

      measures and to make suggestions to better protect patients.
      b. A staff nurse acts quickly when a cardiac arrest is called on her patient.
      c. A staff nurse notifies another staff member that she is being \u201cpulled\u201d today.
      d. A new nurse volunteers to work when another staff member must leave work
      because her child is ill.
      ANS: A
      Nurse leaders are interested in changing practice based on evidence. Options B and D are
      incorrect because they are actions taken by nurses as part of the functional structure of the
      unit. Option C is incorrect because it is an action taken by a manager.
      DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis REF: page 6<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      d. A nurse volunteers to work when another staff member must leave work because
      her child is ill.
      ANS: C
      Determining who gets \u201cpulled\u201d is a management decision. Option A is incorrect because it is
      a role taken by a nurse leader. Option B is incorrect because it is an action taken by staff as
      part of the functional structure of the unit. Option D is incorrect because it is an action taken
      by staff as part of the functional structure of the unit.

        \n
      1. A nurse has accepted a position on a nursing unit where the nurse manager promotes
        autonomy and staff involvement in decision making. What would the nurse expect to observe
        on this unit?
        a. Nurse manager mandates changes.
        b. Staff takes responsibility for assignments.
        c. Staff participates on hospital committees.
        d. Nurses are recognized for excellence in practice.
        ANS: C
        Work environments that promote autonomy and decision making encourage participation on
        hospital committees so that staff may become involved in the decisions that are made. Option
        A is incorrect because this is not an environment in which staff are encouraged to participate
        in decision making. Option BNiUs iRnScoIrrNecGt TbeBca.uCseOiMt should be seen in all environments
        regardless of autonomy. Option D is incorrect because excellence in practice is not seen solely
        in autonomous environments.

      2. The fundamental element of any patient care delivery combines work allocation with
        a. patient acuity.
        b. leadership.
        c. clinical decision making.
        d. delegation.
        ANS: C

        incorrect because it is not necessarily useful in determining the appropriate patient care
        delivery systems needed.
        DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis REF: page 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. The student nurse, shadowing on a medical-surgical unit, observes the charge nurse. Which
        action would the student identify as a leadership quality in the nurse\u2019s actions?
        a. Making patient care assignments distributed equally to staff
        b. Sitting with a confused combative patient
        c. Calling the nursing office for extra staff when an RN calls in sick<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        4
        d. Assisting in a code
        ANS: B
        Leaders act as role models and do what is right for the patient. The other options are incorrect
        because these actions are expected as part of the functioning of the unit.
        DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis REF: page 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Health care is seen and managed as a business today. Which skills are considered essential to
          managing health care as a business?
          a. Ability to pressure staff to do what you want
          b. Resource utilization
          c. Cutting corners to make money
          d. Providing bonuses to staff members who help the organization to save money
          ANS: B
          The ability to manage a budget is essential to being a manager in health care today. The other
          options are incorrect because they are only a perception of the public regarding successful
          managers.
          DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: page 3 | page 7<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. The novice nurse is speaking with the nurse manager about their roles within the hierarchy of
          the institution. The nurse manager would most likely identify which role as having the most
          internal conflict?
          a. Coordinating institutional goals with the immediate demands of the clinical area
          b. Determining which of the staff members should get better raises than other
          members
          c. Deciding which employees should be recommended for promotion
          d. Determining which staff members get Christmas day off
          ANS: A
          Many times the goals of the institution conflict with the goals of the individual employees of a
          particular clinical area and the nurse manager must implement institutional changes regardless
          of the nurse\u2019s personal opinion. The other options are incorrect because those roles should not
          provoke as much conflict.
          DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: pages 7-8<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Nurse managers can best be described as people who

          c. motivate staff to meet institutional goals through positional power.
          d. inspire staff to meet institutional goals through personal power.
          ANS: C
          Managers motivate staff to make changes. Options A and B are incorrect because nurse
          managers usually do not make institutional goals. Option C is incorrect because leaders
          inspire, not managers.
