Nurses on one unit have started a Journal Club with a 56 participation rate of staff nurses involved during the past 10 months.
 
  The organization's annual Research Day is coming up in 4 months and the organizers have asked the Journal Club members to be involved. Only one nurse is willing to represent the group and decides the most effective way to share the Club's vision and effectively represent the group is to ask each member to:
  A. Develop a PowerPoint slide depicting one of the articles the club has discussed and the representative will create a group poster presentation to be displayed at Re-search Day.
  B. Write an abstract of some researchable clinical problem that the representative will present to the Research Day commit-tee for funding possibilities.
  C. Prepare a two-page paper explaining why the Club will not participate in Research Day planning so that the representative can tell the committee their reasons for not wanting to be involved.
  D. Attend an extra Journal Club meeting so that the representative can have the Re-search Day committee members present their rationale for mandating that the Journal Club be involved.

Question 2

Nursing is considered by the public, via the Gallup Poll, to be one of the most honest professions. This certainly constitutes feedback that reflects excellence. But to create a preferred future for nursing, it is necessary that nurses continue to:
 
  A. Be themselves
  B. Promote excellence and exercise leader-ship
  C. Do exactly what we are doing now
  D. Preserve this coveted reputation perceived by the public

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A

Feedback
A Correct because this method will have the most people sharing their work and with the least actual energy expended.
B Incorrect because it asks each individual to develop their own research project and does not really focus on the work already accomplished through the Journal Club.
C Incorrect because this is confrontational and will not generate good outcomes.
D Incorrect because mandating involvement does not speak to effective leadership and probably will not affect the nurses to want to maintain the Journal Club.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B

Feedback
A Incorrect because being themselves may not be enough for the future.
B Correct because promoting excellence and exercising leadership is most likely going to create a preferred future for nurses.
C Incorrect because preserving the status quo will not get the profession anywhere.
D Incorrect because the reputation cannot be preserved; it has to be earned.
