Answer to Question 1

D
In contingency theory, leader-member relations are the feelings and attitudes of followers regarding
acceptance, trust, and credibility of the leader. Task structure of contingency theory means the degree
that work is defined, with specific procedures, explicit directions, and goals. Low task structure
involves work that is not routine, predictable, or clearly defined. Position power in contingency theory
is the degree of formal authority and influence associated with the leader.

Answer to Question 2

C, D, E
There are four levels of authority that are used by RNs when delegating tasks to other nurses. These four levels are: 1) Level 1: delegate to collect data to find out the facts or assess the situation and report back; 2) Level 2: delegate to collect data and make a recommendation to the RN; 3) Level 3: delegate to assess the situation and make a recommendation; and 4) Level 4: delegate to carry out the task as believed is appropriate (Cox, 1997).
