Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2

Rationale: The framework enables the nurse manager to make more informed decisions as each aspect of the situation and the people involved and affected are considered. The framework does not necessarily allow the leader to make faster decisions. There is also no indication that the behavioral/situational framework needs to be used for a particular amount of time before improvement is observed. The goal set by the leader is not necessarily made more important just by using the framework.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Rationale: Policies and procedures in place prior to the decision-making process constitute the controlling forces considered in the process model of leadership. Staff interaction with each other and the manager are the interpersonal processes that must be considered. Those involved in the event and those impacted by the decision constitute the participant considerations within the process model of leadership. Finally, the alternative solutions are the action plan considerations made by the nurse manager using the process model of leadership.
