Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Delegation is transferring responsibility for the performance of an activity or task while retaining accountability for the outcome. To be more efficient in providing adequate client care, the man-ager needs to use delegation. Coaching would not be the situational leadership style to apply. The manager does not have time to explain decisions and provide the opportunity for clarification. Supporting would not be the situational leadership style of choice. The manager does not need to share ideas and facilitate decision making of other employees at this time. Directing is a highly directive style of leadership. The manager needs to delegate, not provide specific instructions and close supervision.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 4
Quality improvement is concerned with exceeding the standard of care, examining ways to be more efficient, improving client satisfaction, and focusing on service. Although the remaining options are pertinent, they are not major considerations of QI evaluation.
