Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. A nurse does not need to have a formal management position with a management title to be a leader; if nurses demonstrate leadership competencies, they are considered nurse leaders.
2. In today's healthcare environment, nurses must have knowledge of relevant leadership and management theories and styles. This knowledge helps nurses emerge as leaders. Nurses are also leaders of their own nursing practices.
3. Control, competition, and getting the job done are past theories and styles that are not as useful in today's environment.
4. Leadership is a skill that can be learned.
