Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

Rationale: Transactional leadership is based on the principles of social exchange theory. There is an exchange process between leaders and followers. The offer to work a shift and then ask for help is an example of transformational leadership. Asking for assistance to cover the shift is also transformational leadership style. Finally, asking others how to solve the problem is also transformational leadership.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1; 3; 4

Rationale:
 Certified as a nursing administrator: The behaviorists believe certification in formal training and education, not certain traits the person might possess, develop the leader.
 Born to be in management: Behaviorists believe leaders were trained and educated to be leaders, not just naturally born to be leaders.
 Attended five leadership seminars: Training in leadership seminars in consistent with the behavioral belief that leaders are developed by extensive training, and not just born with natural leadership qualities.
 Charge nurse with experience: Behaviorists believe successful leaders are developed through experience in leadership roles.
 Nurse manager who is honest, fair, and dependable: Behaviorists would not believe these traits make a successful leader.
