Leadership CH 1-6 Questions with
Accurate Answers
A novice nurse reading a research article should first concentrate on which
sections of the article?
A. Abstract and discussion
B. Study design and methods
C. Future implications and acknowledgment
D. Introduction and results correct answer Abstract and discussion
The abstract section of the article gives an overview of the study, and the
discussion section offers suggestions for nursing practice based on the findings of
the research study. These two sections often are the easiest for the novice to
interpret. The remaining sections can be confusing, and consulting a CNR to help
interpret results is suggested.
A nurse manager recognizes which of the following as an example of a desirable
practice-based competency outcome for a recently licensed registered nurse? The
novice nurse:
A. demonstrates excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
B. meets orientation expectations 1 week ahead of schedule.
C. has no absences during the required probationary employment period.
D. asks for a work schedule that supports enrollment in an advanced nursing
program. correct answer meets orientation expectations 1 week ahead of
schedule.
The outcomes of practice-based competency relate to clinical practice.
Demonstrating the ability to achieve the goals of the facility's orientation program
,1 week ahead of schedule shows clinical expertise and professional confidence,
both reflective of practice-based competency. An excellent attendance record and
an interest in earning an advanced nursing degree reflect professionalism, and
although effective communication and interpersonal skills are desirable, they are
not considered among the necessary clinical care skills.
A social issue that is currently having a very negative impact on the learning
environment in classrooms can be best minimized by initially:
A. presenting information using a variety of methods so that all learning styles will
be addressed.
B. requiring that electronic devices be turned off when entering a classroom or
other learning environment.
C. presenting information on the proper use of social media by nursing students
as it impacts client confidentiality.
D. defining behaviors that will not be tolerated in the classroom since they do not
demonstrate respect or civility. correct answer defining behaviors that will not be
tolerated in the classroom since they do not demonstrate respect or civility.
The decline of respectful, civil interpersonal behavior is a social problem that
impacts even the learning environment. The initial defining of unacceptable
behaviors is most effective in setting expectations of classroom etiquette. While
the other options may represent reasonable requests, they are not as directed
towards the primary issue of effective learning environments.
A staff nurse routinely finds it difficult to receive clarification on prescriptions and
orders written by a particular member of the medical staff. When numerous
attempts to deal directly with the physician fail, the nurse most appropriately
manages the problem by:
, A. making it known to the nurse manager that they will no longer accept the
physician's clients as patients.
B. documenting the problem in terms of client safety concerns and forwarding the
information to both the nursing manager and chief of medical staff.
C. informing the clients that any dissatisfaction with their care should be directed
towards their physician for resolution.
D. presenting the issues to the unit's entire nursing staff so that a unified plan can
be developed to ensure the safety of the physician's clients. correct answer
documenting the problem in terms of client safety concerns and forwarding the
information to both the nursing manager and chief of medical staff.
The problem will best be addressed as a medical staff problem with appropriate
documentation of the problem as it affects client safety being forwarded to both
nursing and medical staff administration. Refusing to treat a particular physician's
clients or discussing the situation with the clients themselves is not professional
behavior and so not a viable option. Involving the entire nursing staff may seem
effective but it merely identifies the situation as a nursing problem rather than
what it truly is—a medical problem.
A theory meets the criteria of fruitfulness when it:
A. includes all concepts related to the area of interest.
B. generates new directions for future research.
C. is easily understood and replicated.
D. is reflective of its scientific basis. correct answer generates new directions for
future research.
The theory meets the criteria of fruitfulness when it is able to generate avenues
for new research. When all related concepts are represented in the theory it is
said to have inclusiveness. Simplicity refers to the theory's ability to be replicated.
Relevance is represented in a theory's reflection of its scientific basis.
