Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Rationale: The organizational leadership's ability to facilitate staff development has the greatest impact on the quality of care given by the staff. The pay, benefits, peer evaluations, and expectation of others are not the greatest motivators, and do not have the most impact on staff performance.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

Rationale: Allowing the charge nurse to make management decisions can lead to respect and trust between the nurse manager and the charge nurse, but it will do little for the unit as a whole. Coming in to assist the unit when needed, being the cheerleader to support the unit, and staying available to assist when needed are all actions that will assist in developing a more cohesive staff.
