Chapter 1 Conceptual Base for Leadership and Management
1) The nurse manager asked all staff nurses to develop effective leadership
competencies. How should the staff nurses interpret this request?
1. This is an unrealistic expectation, because only managers are leaders.
2. This is possible if the nurses learn about and use relevant leadership and
management theories and styles.
3. In order to become leaders, the staff nurses will have to emphasize control,
competition, and getting the job done.
4. Unless the staff nurses possess the traits of a natural born leader, this is
an unrealistic expectation.
ANSWER; 2
Explanation:
1. A nurse does not need to have a formal management position with a
management title to be a leader; if nurses demonstrate leadership competencies,
they are considered nurse leaders.
2. In today's healthcare environment, nurses must have knowledge of relevant
leadership and management theories and styles. This knowledge helps nurses
emerge as leaders. Nurses are also leaders of their own nursing practices.
3. Control, competition, and getting the job done are past theories and styles that are
not as useful in today's environment.
4. Leadership is a skill that can be
learned. Cognitive Level:
