Answer to Question 1

B
The knowledge and skills nurses possess is referred to as expert power. Other types of power include: legitimate, referent, reward, coercive, connection, and information power.

Answer to Question 2

A
There are two ways to wield the influence of an expert. One way is the consistent demonstration of nursing skills based on one's knowledge, competence, and abilities in practice settings. The second way is to be introduced and promoted to a group as an expert, thus validating one's expertise. The position a nurse holds in a group is called legitimate power. The extent to which nurses network and are connected with others having power is called connection power.
