Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

A philosophy looks at the nature of things and aims to provide the meaning of nursing phenomena. It is the most general in the scope of nursing theories. A grand theory is broad and complex and tends to be very general. Middle-range theory has a narrower scope and is derived from earlier works, such as philosophies and grand theories. A concept is the abstract idea or mental image of a phenomenon.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Leaders focus on people, whereas managers focus on systems and structures. Both leaders and managers have focus primarily within their own organization.
