Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

Rationale: Decision making begins with collecting the facts, which provides clues to the scope and importance of the issue. As with the nursing process, this assessment must come first. Classification of information into categories such as human factors and technical problems occurs after information has been gathered. Brainstorming is used to develop solutions after information about the issue is analyzed. The information cannot be sorted into an orderly arrangement until it has been collected.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

Rationale: Building the team up by praising team accomplishments best exemplifies the nurse manager as team builder. For the nurse manager, allowing little time for discussion at staff meetings and encouraging exemplary task performance do not exemplify team building because these tend to foster individualization instead of team players. Individual performance evaluations also do not exemplify team building.
