unit. What type of power is Amy using?
a. Position power
b. Expert power
c. Personal power
d. Competency power - ....ANSWER...ANS: B
According to the types of power outlined in the text,
Amy is most likely evidencing expert power in that
she is being consulted regarding areas of knowledge
,and competency on the unit and is at the same level,
potentially, in the hierarchy as her colleagues.
Susan, an RN in the ED, would like to pursue
leadership roles in her career. She is frustrated that
others in her working environment seem to pay little
attention to her creative ideas or place her in
informal leadership positions. As her colleague, you
want to provide her with helpful feedback. Which of
the following statements will provide feedback as to
how she might communicate power and
demonstrate that she is capable of handling other
leadership responsibilities?
a. "I find your soft voice and manners very
reassuring and calming to patients."
b. "Try using a wider vocabulary and big words so
that people will think that you are knowledgeable."
c. "At times, you tend to slump and avoid eye contact
when you are talking with colleagues and families."
d. "Don't worry about what others think of you. If you
feel like saying something, say it, even if it hurts
other people's feelings." - ....ANSWER...ANS: C
A powerful image comes from thinking of oneself as
powerful and effective, and this is communicated
through posture, maintaining eye contact, treating
others with courtesy and respect, and using a firm,
,confident voice with vocabulary that is appropriate
(which does not necessarily involve using big-
sounding words).
During orientation of new nurse managers, the chief
nursing officer stresses strategies that help nurse
managers to achieve a powerful image. Which
groups of behaviors best contribute to a powerful
image for the nurse manager?
a. Greeting patients, families, and colleagues with a
handshake and a smile; listening carefully when
problems arise
b. For men, no facial hair, always wearing a suit and
tie; for women, always wearing a suit and high-
heeled shoes
c. Maintaining a soft voice during times of conflict;
making unbroken eye contact during interactions
d. Smiling all the time; always wearing a suit and
carrying a briefcase; women should wear no jewelry
- ....ANSWER...ANS: A
A powerful and positive approach is communicated
through confident behaviors such as greeting others,
smiling, and showing respect for the opinions of
others through listening.
, 8. A nurse manager recognizes the need to expand
her professional network as she begins a job search
for a middle-management position. Which of the
following actions is least likely to expand her job-
searching network?
a. Reviewing her address book or card file for names
and phone numbers of former colleagues who are
now in middle-management positions
b. Making an appointment to meet with a former
instructor from her graduate program in nursing
administration
c. Making a long overdue return call to a former
colleague who is now a chief nurse executive
d. Attending a state-level conference for nurse
managers and executives and attending informal
luncheons and receptions - ....ANSWER...ANS: C
Networking is the result of identifying, valuing, and
maintaining relationships with a system of
individuals who are sources of information, advice,
and support. In this situation, the chief nurse
executive and the nurse may not have a close or
valued relationship given the length of time since
last communication, and so this may not be the best
person to provide support or advice.
