  b. situational style.
  c. democratic style.

  July 1, 2009, 8:10 AM
  While administering meds on Wing 1, I heard someone sobbing in the shower room on that wing. On entering the shower stall, I found Mrs. Garrity crying and shivering. She was sitting naked on the shower chair and was alone in the room. She stated that Becky, her nursing assistant, told her she had to leave for a phone call. I covered Mrs. Garrity with a bath blanket that was on the shelf in the bathroom. At that point Becky returned and confirmed that she had received a phone call. I think the in-service director needs to review the procedure for showering a resident with Becky and the policy about personal phone calls. Becky and I discussed the discomfort caused to Mrs. Garrity by her actions. She listened to my comments without defensiveness.
  The documentation should be evaluated as
  a. complete and appropriate.
  b. appropriate but incomplete.
  c. meeting agency and regulatory standards.
  d. not meeting criteria for good documentation.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A purely task-centered leadership style (autocratic style) thrives on power. It involves telling someone what to do, with little regard for the employee as a person who may have ideas about how to improve patient care or reach the goals of the employer. Situational leadership involves varying leadership style to meet the demands of the situation in the work environment. Focusing on both the task and the employee is characteristic of the democratic style of leadership. A purely people-oriented style (laissez-faire) focuses on people's feelings but ignores the task at hand. It allows employees to act without any direction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse includes a subjective comment judging what is perceived as having taken place.
