Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1; 2; 4

Rationale:
Determine the desired outcome: The process model of leadership involves three stages. The first action of stage 1 is to determine the desired outcome, which in this case it is to decrease staff call-ins.
Identify the participants: The second step of stage 1 is to identify the participants, and the nurse manager must consider all staff under direct responsibility.
Generate ideas for action: The third consideration is not generating ideas for action. This is the first action of stage 2. The third consideration in stage 1 is to describe the organizational climate and structure.
Describe situational influences: This is one of the considerations in stage 1, as it is the fifth and final action needed in stage 1.
Identify associated barriers: Identifying barriers does not occur until stage 2 in the process model of leadership.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1

Rationale: Authentic caring in relationships with others is an important method of improving respect and competence as a leader. Leaders are not afraid of and do not refuse any task. Although the leader can show no favoritism, leaders can have friends. Authentic leaders are willing to take risks, and would be genuine towards those with whom they are in relationship.
