Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
McClelland's Model of Motivation focuses on power, achievement, and affiliation. Ouchi's model
focuses on quality circles, collective decision making, long-term employment, and mentoring.

Answer to Question 2

D
New nurse graduates and novice nurses may experience difficulty when learning how to effectively delegate nursing tasks to others. Some ways in which other staff members can assist these nurses in acquiring the skills, knowledge, experience, and confidence for delegation include: 1) help new nurses in their role development; 2) teach new nurses how to delegate; 3) introduce departmental staff; and 4) explain the roles of different departmental staff with whom they may come in contact. While feedback and constructive criticism may be helpful for new nurses when learning how to delegate, this should come from the nurse manager and not from all staff.
