Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Hiscock and Shuldham state that it is important for nurse leaders to be focused on the patients rather than themselves to deliver quality, patient-focused care. The patient is the center and purpose of the process. All others (self, staff, physician) exist to provide service to the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The act of controlling involves comparing expected results of the planned work with the actual results. In the nursing process, evaluation is comparable to controlling. The planning function of a manager is comparable to the assessment, diagnosis, and planning portions of the nursing process.
