Answer to Question 1

B
The power of critical thinking leads to expert power. Critical thinking enables a nurse to understand
more and to find better information. Nurses who influence others with the information they provide to
the group are using information power. The extent to which nurses are connected with others having
power is called connection power. Legitimate power is power derived from the position a nurse holds
in a group, and it indicates the degree of authority.
