Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Building the team up by praising team accomplishments best exemplifies the nurse manager as team leader.
Rationale 2: Controlling staff meetings in the interest of time does not exemplify team leadership.
Rationale 3: The nurse manager routinely does individual performance evaluations. As team leader, the nurse manager would evaluate the performance of the team.
Rationale 4: Encouraging conjunctive task performance (all or none have success) does not exemplify team leadership but rather tends to foster individualization.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. Interviewing the candidate and informing the candidate of the intention of a second interview
with the manager is a professional approach in managing this situation. Rescheduling the
interview, referring the candidate to a unit nurse, and conducting a conference call are
unprofessional. These would not make a positive impression on the candidate. The candidate
committed to the appointment.
