Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Formal and informal power, access to information and resources, opportunity for growth, sup-portive organizational cultures in which nurses are valued for their expertise, respectful teamwork, and adequate compensation are factors central to successful nursing leadership.

Answer to Question 2

B, D, E
In a decentralized model, individual department managers and directors are responsible for daily staffing allocation. Units with decentralized staffing are typically units whereby volume and/or acuity may be most unpredictable, and the nursing competencies are unique to that area (e.g., emergency department, labor and delivery, critical care).
