Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1

Rationale: When a nurse leader continually gains practice in using the
behavioral/situational framework to achieve goals, the decisions made will be more
appropriate. The leader would analyze all aspects of the situation, those individuals involved, the leader, and the group. The experienced leader should still use all aspects of the
framework with all decisions and goals. Just because the leader analyzes all aspects of
the situation using the framework doesn't mean the end product will always be advantageous to
the staff. Despite the use of the framework, there will always be issues within a
department.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

Rationale: The process of model of leadership describes personnel, organizational, and behavioral aspects of an event or problem for the inexperienced leader to consider before making a decision. It was not designed for experienced leaders, is not used to provide leadership, and is not used for delegation purposes.
