Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E
Mintzberg described management in terms of behaviors. Underlying his descriptions were two assumptions: much of a manager's time is spent in human relations, and managers are more reactive than proactive. These assumptions provided the basis for three categories of behaviors: interpersonal roles, informational roles, and decisional roles. Mintzberg described three interpersonal roles: figurehead, leader, and liaison. The three informational roles he described are monitor, disseminator, and spokesperson. The third category of Mintzberg's behavioral roles comprises the four decisional roles: entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator, and negotiator.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
Nurses must have knowledge of the nurse practice act in the state where they are licensed. Each state's nurse practice act defines the RN scope of practice and discusses appropriate delegation. A second resource in delegation is the use of the organization's policy and procedure manual. Employers must have job descriptions for each job class that outline the responsibilities and limitations of each position. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) website and journal articles are other resources for understanding delegation. Nurses are expected to follow personal and professional ethics, as outlined in the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics for Nurses to maintain integrity. Theory X-style managers believe that the average person dislikes work and will avoid it if given the opportunity to do so.
