Answer to Question 1

D
If the situation is subjective, non-routine, and unstructured or if outcomes are unknown or un-predictable, the nurse leader and manager may need to take a descriptive or behavioral approach. More information (such as degree of risk to the client and to the agency) needs to be gathered to address this situation effectively.

A
