Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Often the healthcare team leader is a middle manager who does not have the authority of an administrator.
2. The team leader has the authority, but the team members may not recognize that authority. This situation can result in the team being ineffective.
3. As the team gains strength, the leader should begin to relax control and allow the team to exert more and more authority over the direction of the team.
4. The team leader does have authority. In some cases, the leader does not have control.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. This style of leadership has limited interest in production or people.
2. This type of leader has an interest in people, but productivity is not a major focus.
3. This type of leadership focuses on efficiency and getting the job done and is not as concerned with staff members as people, but in this case this most likely is the only approach that the nurse manager can take.
4. This type of leader is very concerned about productivity and about staff, morale, and satisfaction.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
