When teaching nursing preceptors about power, which statement indicates learning has been successful?

1. I am only showing the student how to take care of patients so I have no need for power.
2. I can use power to teach the student how to motivate, communicate, and achieve outcomes.
3. I do not want to give the student the idea that nurses are all about who has the most power.
4. I can use power to ensure other disciplines know I am the one who really does the work.

Question 2

The nurse is working on a committee tasked with making a major organizational change.

Which comments by the nurse would help to advance the work of this committee? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. I would like to focus on completing this process so we can move on.
2. Have we looked at all available data in order to make an informed decision?
3. What are the obstacles to implementing this change within the organization?
4. Are we including the opinions of all stakeholders in this decision?
5. I think it does not really matter when we institute this change, as long as it is over quickly.
