Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Take several copies of your rsum with you to the interview. You may want to
refer to it, or you may find it appropriate to leave a copy with someone. It is best to dress
formally rather than asking for direction in this matter. It is appropriate to ask questions during
an interview, but these should not focus on the work of the interviewers.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Shared governance may be viewed as a system in which nurses have organizational
autonomy as reflected in control over their practice, and have input into decision relating to
patient care. It is a professional practice model in which both the nursing staff and the nursing
management are involved in decision-making, as opposed to the administrative decision area
being controlled by management. In this way, it is an alternative to traditional supervision
models and hierarchies.
