Women need to invest energy into dealing with all the stereotype issues (e.g., being perceived as threats or as not being real women), as well as dealing with the issues inherent in the job itself (e.g.
 
  , improving the bottom line or producing a product before the competition does). Nurses demonstrate effective leadership everyday by:
  A. Following the physicians in rounds
  B. Accomplishing their list of tasks
  C. Achieving quality patient outcomes
  D. Causing conflict with all members of the health team

Question 2

Women and men both need to hold onto the strength of their uniqueness, but at the same time, incorporate talents typically exhibited by the other. A movement toward more androgynous lea-dership would:
 
  A. Combine the positive elements of hierar-chies and webs
  B. Prevent male and female nurses from competing with each other
  C. Align same gender members of the health-care team to work together
  D. Promote more harmony with staff nurses working with opposite gender patients
