Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: While becoming politically active is important, it is not the most effective way to promote a powerful image.
Rationale 2: A powerful image would best be created by nurses acting and speaking in a professional manner.
Rationale 3: Motivating others to become nurses is a result of power but is not the most effective way to promote a powerful image.
Rationale 4: Having clients speak positively about nursing encounters is certainly a good thing, but nurses must improve their own image.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. Delegation of a task to a person who is not competent or qualified is in violation of the nurse
practice act and constitutes negligence. Ineffective delegation occurs when the steps of
delegation are not properly followed or barriers remain unresolved. Underdelegation occurs
when the delegate is unable to complete the task and the delegator must resume responsibility
for its completion. Unnecessary duplication occurs when the manager has given related tasks
to too many people and there is overlapping of tasks.
