Angela McBride, a significant leader in nursing, has suggested that leadership will move the nursing profession forward.
 
  This is similar to what Bennis and Nanus have said about how im-portant it is for leaders to follow their vision, be consistent, have self-respect, and communicate effectively. Nurses will need which of the following to accomplish this?
  A. Knowledge about the institution's budget and political acumen
  B. Self-confidence and assertiveness
  C. Ability to negotiate with physicians for more financial reimbursement for nursing and aggressive communication skills
  D. Increased nursing staff with critical care competency and financial motivation for nurses

Question 2

Evidence-based nursing practice considers:
 
  a. patient preferences
  b. the clinical situation
  c. the expertise of the clinician
  d. all of the above

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
