Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Democratic and permissive leadership is not appropriate in this emergency situation. All staff members should carry out their duties as described in the Protocol. Local ambulance services are well aware of their role in a disaster.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The democratic leader encourages participation in decision making, a quality that is evident in presenting a staff member's idea in another context. The other statements do not demonstrate a clear appreciation for the staff member's contribution.
