Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Providing opportunities for open communication and feedback is one way to overcome resistance to change.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Leadership should be approached like any other new role or skill: slowly and carefully. Nursing students and beginning nurses should be prepared with all of the necessary tools or skills before attempting the new role. Initially, nurses develop leadership skills in well-defined clinical situations. With each experience, growth occurs and leadership is strengthened. All nurse managers, nurse administrators, and nursing leaders also began as inexperienced nurses.
