Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Transformational leadership inspires and motivates others through influence and persuasion rather than through rewards (e.g., free time) and punishment (e.g., smaller raises). This type of leader listens to the views of others (such as those of the staff members), empowers others to lead (such as in generating solutions for staffing problems), finds ways to remove barriers, and serves as an advocate for those who care for patients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A study of student nurses who represent this age group indicates that they want a leader who is receptive, approachable, a team player, and motivating.
