Answers |100% Pass

A unit manager watches a new RN graduate interacting with a patient. When the RN comes out of the

room, the unit manager says, "I don't know what they taught you in your nursing program, but if I see

you do that again, I will write you up." This example demonstrates:

a. Coercive use of power.

b. Appropriate application of control.

c. Use of informatory power.

d. Use of power to provide coaching. - Answer✔✔-ANS: A

Influence is the process of using power. Influence can involve the punitive power of coercion, as is used

in this example.

A nurse manager is experiencing poor staff morale on her unit. While participating in a baccalaureate

course, the nurse manager had learned that one of the reasons nurses lack power today is probably

because of the past. In the early decades of the profession, nurses lacked power because:

a. Nurses freely chose to defer to physicians and administrators with more education.

b. Women lacked legal, social, and political power because of legal and cultural barriers.

c. The first nursing licensure laws prohibited nurses from making most decisions.

d. Nurses astutely recognized the risks of grabbing too much power too soon. - Answer✔✔-ANS: B

Nursing mirrored the lack of legal, social, and political power that was prevalent in the early decades of

the profession.

A manager relies on his director (immediate supervisor) for advice about enrolling in graduate school to

prepare for a career as a nurse executive. The director may exercise what kinds of power in the

relationship with the manager in this advisory situation?

a. Expert, coercive, and referent

b. Reward, connection, and information

c. Referent, expert, and information

d. Reward, referent, and information - Answer✔✔-ANS: C

Because the director is in a leadership role, he comes with knowledge or expertise that is required to

assume a leadership role, and he has information that he is willing to share, which gives him the power

of information. The employee sees him as credible and seeks his advice, which gives him referent power.

Amy has worked in the dialysis unit on staff for about 12 years. She is frequently consulted by other

nursing staff regarding protocols and policies on the unit. What type of power is Amy using?

a. Position power

b. Expert power

c. Personal power

According to the types of power outlined in the text, Amy is most likely evidencing expert power in that

she is being consulted regarding areas of knowledge and competency on the unit and is at the same

level, potentially, in the hierarchy as her colleagues.

Susan, an RN in the ED, would like to pursue leadership roles in her career. She is frustrated that others

in her working environment seem to pay little attention to her creative ideas or place her in informal

leadership positions. As her colleague, you want to provide her with helpful feedback. Which of the

following statements will provide feedback as to how she might communicate power and demonstrate

that she is capable of handling other leadership responsibilities?

a. "I find your soft voice and manners very reassuring and calming to patients."

b. "Try using a wider vocabulary and big words so that people will think that you are knowledgeable."

c. "At times, you tend to slump and avoid eye contact when you are talking with colleagues and

families."

d. "Don't worry about what others think of you. If you feel like saying something, say it, even if it hurts

other people's feelings." - Answer✔✔-ANS: C

A powerful image comes from thinking of oneself as powerful and effective, and this is communicated

through posture, maintaining eye contact, treating others with courtesy and respect, and using a firm,

confident voice with vocabulary that is appropriate (which does not necessarily involve using big-

sounding words).

During orientation of new nurse managers, the chief nursing officer stresses strategies that help nurse

managers to achieve a powerful image. Which groups of behaviors best contribute to a powerful image

for the nurse manager?
