Answer to Question 1

B
A middle-level manager is called a director. A low managerial-level job is called the first-line
manager. A nurse in an executive level role is called a chief nurse executive or vice president of
patient care services.

Answer to Question 2

C
Critical thinking skills are necessary for nurses to function effectively in today's health care environment. Critical thinkers ask the question why? to assist them in determining the best decision in a given situation. Four key skills that are required for the development of effective critical thinking skills are: 1) critical reading; 2) critical listening; 3) critical speaking (not necessarily negotiation); and 4) critical writing.
