Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
Teamwork has become the imperative for leaders today because the level of knowledge required to meet the demands of both patients and systems of care requires collective pooling of thinking styles, diversity of professional backgrounds, and the collaboration of many. Rapidly changing structures of care delivery and reimbursement protocols, increasing governmental regulations, increasing complexity, technology advances, rapid information dissemination at the worker level, and the shift to a knowledge workerbased service society are some of the social and economic forces operative in health care.

Answer to Question 2

B
Patrician et al. (2012), in a qualitative descriptive study that explored the professional develop-ment needs of nursing leaders, developed a number of recommendations that were based on what charge nurses indicated about their needs. The recommendations included education and orientation to the role, managing performance and development of staff, and communication skills. Additional education should be focused on unit finances and patient relations. Leadership support was found to be pivotal for charge nurses to feel successful or hinder their work.
