Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Rationale: The situational-behavioral framework describes a management style that changes depending upon the situation occurring at the time. The nurse leader or manager assesses the needs required in a particular situation, makes a decision, and behaves accordingly. It is a multifaceted approach using the principles of experience, leadership skills, and the critical nature of the incident.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1; 3; 4; 5
Rationale:
 Delegate tasks to nonprofessional personnel: The new RN will be required to delegate tasks to nonprofessional nursing staff.
 Plan unit budget with decreasing resources: A new RN would not be required to plan for budgets. With experience, the nurse might begin to offer input into the budget and needs of the unit.
 Evaluate client care: RNs are allowed to evaluate client care as an integral part of the nursing process.
 Supervise nonprofessional personnel: The new RN will be required to supervise to nonprofessional nursing staff.
 Complete performance evaluations: A new RN would not be required to do performance evaluations. The completion of performance evaluations is historically included in the scope of the nurse manager's job.
