Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The planning function of a manager is comparable to the assessment, diagnosis, and planning portions of the nursing process. It includes four stages: (1) Setting goals, (2) assessing the current situation and future trends, (3) setting the plan, and (4) converting the plan into an action statement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Openness refers to the leader's ability to listen to other points of view without prejudging or discouraging them. An effective leader considers others' opinions with an open mind because a wider variety of solutions to problems is offered. Openness by the nurse leader encourages creative solutions by providing an environment in which people feel comfortable thinking outside the box. Integrity is the quality of having clear ethical principles and aligning one's actions with the stated values. Dedication is the ability to spend the time necessary to accomplish a task. Magnanimity means giving credit where credit is due. Good leaders reflect the work and success of accomplishing a goal by crediting those who helped reach it.
