Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The bureaucratic leader does not trust anyone to make decisions and instead relies on the organization's rules, policies, and procedures to direct the group's work efforts. Group members are usually dissatisfied with the leader's inflexibility and impersonal relations with them.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

One factor in nursing shortages is the increasing demand for nurses to work in new roles. Periods of acute shortage are often followed by periods of adequate availability of nurses. Hospitals often have cut nursing staff and replaced them with unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) as a cost-containment measure. As a result of reductions in nursing staff, some nurses, feeling they can no longer provide quality health care, experience disillusionment and leave the profession.
