Nursing Leadership and Management
Chapter #17 Exam Questions and
Answers
1 . In an attempt to persuade employees to bargain for another type of health insurance,
a handout is circulated that describes the present employees' health care insurance as
being insensitive, limiting choices of care providers, and providing inferior care. This
reflects which aspect of Lewin's planned change?

a. Unfreeze
b. Move
c. Refreeze
d. Acceptance - Answer-A
Unfreeze is correct because the change agent promotes problem identification and
encourages awareness of the need for change. In alignment with Lewin's stages of
change (unfreezing, moving, and refreezing), education and involvement are keys to
successful change. People must believe that improvement is possible before they will
be willing to consider change.

The terms leadership and management are often used interchangeably, and it is difficult

unique to themselves. The manager is the coordinator of resources (time, people, and
supplies) needed to achieve outcomes.

sustained varying degrees of injury. Which type of nursing leadership is most effective
in this situation?

b. Democratic
c. Laissez-faire
d. Referent - Answer-A

5. An RN with excellent assessment and psychomotor skills would derive power on the
basis of which source?

a. Rewards
b. Coercion
c. Expert
d. Legitimate - Answer-C

skills, and information.

DIF: Comprehension REF: p. 297

6. Managers who exhibit an authoritative behavioral style are most likely to use which
source of power?

a. Informal
b. Expert
c. Coercive
d. Reward - Answer-C
Seven primary sources of power are known. Coercive power is based on fear of
punishment or failure to comply. Coercive power fits well into the authoritative
behavioral style because authoritative managers dictate the work with much control,
usually ignore the ideas or suggestions of subordinates, and provide little feedback or
recognition for work accomplished.
