LEADING TEAM
THE WORK CULTURE:
Nurses can prevent burnout on the job by practicing which habit?
Self-care is needed to prevent burnout.
The nurse should use accrued time off to seek time away from work. Frequently working
overtime and avoiding asking for assistance from colleagues will promote burnout, not prevent
it.
Which are true about advocacy?
Advocacy helps others grow and self-actualize and it is part of a leadership role.
Leaders, by virtue of their many roles, must advocate for clients, subordinates, and the
profession.
What can a leader do to promote employee self-care in the workplace?
A manager/leader should encourage the use of accrued time off to seek time away from work to
prevent burnout. Healthy snacks and breaks from the unit will help promote self-care. Covering
employees throughout the day so they can take a break will not only promote self-care, but it will
also assist with employee and unit morale.
Taking an adequate lunch break and time off throughout the year does promote self-care and
prevents burnout.
ADVOCACY:
Advocacy is an important part of the nurse leader role. Just as a nurse advocate for their clients,
leaders must advocate for their subordinates and themselves. The nurse leader must also
advocate for the nursing profession and career advancement. By advocating, the nurse leader
is helping others grow and self-actualize.
Nursing Leadership Responsibilities with Advocacy
• Autonomy and empowerment must be valued by the leader and organization.
• Employee needs and goals must be understood by all staff, and employees recognize
themselves as a part of their healthcare team.
• Employees must feel valued and respected with the freedom to express their concerns
and needs in the workplace.
• Managers must relay employee concerns to the organization.
• Managers advocate for the nursing profession by understanding legislation and
regulations that affect the workplace and being involved in the political process of
improving healthcare.
• Managers support quality improvement measures that focus on improving the workplace
and deemphasize blame for errors.

WORK CULTURE
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE:
Nurse leaders must understand the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) as well as recognize it
in themselves and others. EI differs from intellectual intelligence in that it is the ability to
successfully deal with people and the environment despite complex challenges. EI develops
over time and can be increased.
Five Components of Emotional Intelligence
• Self-awareness: the ability to recognize and understand one’s moods, emotions, and
drives as well as their effects on others
• Self-regulation: the ability to control or redirect disruptive impulses or moods as well as
the propensity to suspend judgment.
• Motivation: a passion to work for reasons that go beyond money or status; a propensity
to pursue goals with energy and commitment
• Empathy: the ability to understand and accept the emotional makeup of other people
• Social skills: proficiency in handling relationships and building networks; an ability to
find common ground
Which is used to determine one’s capability to cope with environmental demands and
pressures?
Emotional intelligence (EI) is distinct from IQ, or cognitive intelligence. Even though IQ is often
associated with success, research tells us that being able to make our way in a complex world
by successfully dealing with people and the environment is actually more important, perhaps the
most important element of intelligence.
Extrasensory perception (ESP), also called the sixth sense, includes claimed reception of
information not gained through the recognized physical senses, but sensed with the mind.
American Sign Language (ASL) is the primary language of many North Americans who are deaf
and hard of hearing and is used by many hearing people as well.
How do nurse leaders use emotional intelligence to be successful?
Being able to make our way in a complex world by successfully dealing with people and the
environment is perhaps the most important element of intelligence.
Cognitive intelligence is not a part of emotional intelligence. Managing shift scheduling and time-
management are not associated with emotional intelligence.
Which of the following best describes emotional intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is about the social abilities one has.
IQ, or cognitive intelligence, is about the cognitive, intellectual, and rational abilities.
