Answer to Question 1

D
Connection power is derived from one's personal and professional relationships that have the potential to enhance one's resources and have the capacity for learning and information sharing. Coercive power tends to come from the ability to punish others in order to influence them to change their behavior. Information power is based on information that someone can provide to a group. Referent power is based on the trust and respect that people tend to feel for an individual, group, or organization with which they are associated.

Answer to Question 2

A
The personal power of nurses is evident in the decisions they make. Nurses' sense of power is greater when they can influence events through personal effort. Connection is ultimately about building personal and professional relationships; people who are strongly connected to others experience a degree of intimacy and a level of commitment that empowers them and others. Nurses who are trusted and respected by others and are most able to exert influence over others tend to be charismatic. The knowledge and skills nurses possess is referred to as expert power.
