Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

A
The challenges of leadership belong to every nurse, not just those in formal administrative or management roles. Leadership at the staff level may take a different form. For instance, a staff nurse adapting to a challenging patient assignment, taking initiative to change practice through performance improvement, or challenging the status quo is participating in unit culture construc-tion.
