b. Counseling a new nurse regarding attendance
c. Adjusting assignments after a staff member calls in sick

are management responsibilities and not leadership roles.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: page 6
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

those are leadership or mentoNriU
ngRrS
olI
esN. GTB.COM
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: page 6
3. Much like a politician, a nurse manager must exhibit leadership that inspires and motivates. In

measures and to make suggestions to better protect patients.

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.

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

b. A nurse acts quickly when a cardiac arrest is called on her patient.
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
her child is ill.
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.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis REF: page 6
5. 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 BNiU
sR coI
inS ecG
rrN tTb eBc a.uC
s eOi tMs h o u l d be seen in all environments
regardless of autonomy. Option D is incorrect because excellence in practice is not seen solely
in autonomous environments.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis REF: page 6
6. 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
Work allocation is necessary in any patient care delivery system. The other options are
incorrect because it is not necessarily useful in determining the appropriate patient care
delivery systems needed.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis REF: page 10
7. 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’s actions?
a. Making patient care assignments distributed equally to staff
