Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: The ability to retain a big-picture focus while dealing with each part of the change is a desirable trait for a change agent.
Rationale 2: The change agent must have sufficient flexibility to modify ideas when this will improve the change, but enough persistence to resist nonproductive tampering with the planned change.
Rationale 3: It is likely that those who are resistant will adapt to the change if given enough time and support.
Rationale 4: Staying available the whole time is not realistic and will make it difficult for the change agent to maintain the energy it will take to make the change more successful.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2, 3, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. All except wearing a crisp, white uniform are incorrect because they work against the
professional image of nursing. Without acting like the professionals those in nursing are, there
will be no power image. Assertive behavior, being respectful when addressing a client or
colleague, and critically thinking about each order are appropriate behaviors for nursing
professionals.
