Answer to Question 1

C
Situational leadership considers the follower readiness as a factor in determining leadership style.
Contingency theory views the pattern of leader behavior as dependent on the interaction of the
personality of the leader and the needs of the situation. In path goal theory, the leader works to
motivate followers and influence goal accomplishment. Charismatic leadership has an inspirational
quality that promotes an emotional connection from followers.

Answer to Question 2

B, D
Four aspects of supervision that pertain to the different levels of supervision were identified by Hanston and Jackson (2009). These four aspects are: 1) Supervised work occurs when the RN is neither familiar with the individual's competency nor has a professional relationship with that worker (not unsupervised); 2) initial direction and periodic inspection are directly related to when an RN delegates a task and understands competency and abilities of an unlicensed, newly licensed, or temporary RN; 3) unsupervised work occurs when two RNs are working together and neither needs follow up unless the charge nurse feels the need to do so; and 4) never delegated tasks include assessment, evaluation, nursing diagnosis, planning, and some parts of intervention (not all intervention).
