Question: 7 of 70 RN Leadership 2023
A nurse manager is teaching a newly licensed nurse about leadership styles. Which of the following
information should the nurse include?
A. A laissez-faire leader motivates group members through criticism.
B. An authoritarian leader allows decisions to be made by the group.
✓ C. A transactional leader is results-oriented.
D. A transformational leader lacks long-term vision.
✓ Correct Answer: C
A transactional leader uses reward and punishment to motivate staff and is results-oriented, focusing on meeting goals
through exchange (transactions). A laissez-faire (permissive) leader provides minimal direction and allows the group to make
decisions — not motivation through criticism. An authoritarian (autocratic) leader makes decisions alone, does not allow
group input. A transformational leader inspires with vision and long-term goals — they do NOT lack long-term vision.

Question: 21 of 70 RN Leadership 2023
A nurse is assessing a client who had a recent stroke. Which of the following findings should indicate to the
nurse the need for referral to an occupational therapist?
A. Memory loss
B. Facial drooping
✓ C. Unilateral neglect
D. Receptive aphasia
✓ Correct Answer: C
Unilateral neglect (hemineglect) — failure to recognize or attend to one side of the body — is a direct indication for
occupational therapy (OT) referral. OT addresses ADL retraining, safety with unilateral neglect, adaptive equipment, and
sensory-perceptual deficits. Facial drooping and receptive aphasia (difficulty understanding language) indicate speech-
language pathology referral. Memory loss may require neuropsychology or cognitive rehabilitation referral.
, A charge nurse is assessing the room of a newly admitted client who has dysphagia. Which of the following
pieces of equipment should the nurse ensure is available in the client's room?
A. Nasal cannula and oxygen
B. Large-handled utensils
✓ C. Yankauer suction device
D. Bite block
✓ Correct Answer: C
A Yankauer (rigid tonsil-tip) suction device must be immediately available at the bedside for a client with dysphagia to
manage aspiration of secretions or food. Dysphagia significantly increases the risk of aspiration pneumonia — suction
readiness is a safety priority. Large-handled utensils are adaptive equipment for motor deficits, not dysphagia. A bite block
is used during seizures or dental procedures. Nasal cannula/oxygen may be ordered but is not the priority equipment
specifically for dysphagia safety.
