Answer to Question 1

ANS: B

Feedback
A Incorrect because the above-mentioned theorists were not referring to politics or financial savvy.
B Correct because nurses with self-confidence are generally competent, and being able to be assertive will portray nursing strength for leading the other health-care team members.
C Incorrect because generally, it is the hos-pital administration that nurses negotiate for more financial reimbursement, and being aggressive is not a method of effec-tive leading.
D Incorrect because although increased crit-ical care competency and having a finan-cial incentive for nurses might be helpful, it is not what will bring the profession forward.

Answer to Question 2

D
