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.

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.

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 ―pulled‖ today.
d. A new nurse volunteers to work when another staff member must leave work
because her child is ill.

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

c. A nurse notifies another staff member that she is being ―pulled‖ today.
d. A nurse volunteers to work when another staff member must leave work because

ANS: C
Determining who gets ―pulled‖ 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.

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 B is incorrect because it should be seen in all environments
regardless of autonomy. Option D is incorrect because excellence in practice is not seen solely
in autonomous environments.
