A nurse manager and a human resources (HR) manager are developing an interview guide for registered nurse positions in critical care units.

How should this document be structured? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. The questions should be specific to the registered nurse position.
2. Questions should be general enough that they will guide the interview for any critical care unit.
3. Sufficient room should be allowed between the questions so that notes on the interview can be written directly on the guide.
4. Questions should require independent answers and should not be leading.
5. The document should allow space for demographic information such as name, gender, and age.

Question 2

If a situation develops on a unit and the nurse manager has a meeting to discuss the necessary outcomes, and then asks for the group to discuss possible ways to achieve the outcome, which type of leadership is this?

1. Quantum
2. Contemporary
3. Contingency

Answer to Question 1

1,3,4
Rationale 1: Questions should be specific to the job responsibilities of a registered nurse.
Rationale 2: The questions should be specific to the unit for which the nurse is being hired. For example, a nurse skilled in adult critical care may not be prepared to work in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Rationale 3: If notes are taken directly on the guide, it will also serve as a written record of the interview. This written record may be retained or may be destroyed after the position is filled.
Rationale 4: Leading questions often have very obvious answers and will not give the interviewers a true impression of the applicant.
Rationale 5: Asking about age and making decision based on gender is not legal.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Quantum leadership is based on the concepts of chaos theory, with the focus on outcomes.
Quantum leadership is one type of contemporary theory and is not related to contingency or
behavioral theory.
