Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Levothyroxine treats hypothyroidism but increases metabolic demand, risking cardiac strain. A history of myocardial infarction (MI) is a caution thyroid hormone can exacerbate ischemia or trigger arrhythmias, requiring provider review for dosage titration or monitoring (e.g., ECG). Blood pressure 120/80 mmHg is normal, TSH 2.5 mIU/L (0.4-4.0) suggests euthyroidism questioning the prescription's need and weight 70 kg is irrelevant alone. MI history demands reporting, ensuring cardiac safety, as rapid thyroid correction could stress a compromised heart, aligning with the nurse's duty to flag contraindications in a drug with cardiovascular implications.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Functional nursing excels in control, economy, and security nurses handle specific tasks efficiently, saving costs and clarifying roles but neglects psychological and sociological needs, an exception to its benefits. In Henry's unit, this task focus might speed care yet leave patients feeling unheard, dropping satisfaction. Unlike Team nursing's collaboration, it prioritizes process over connection. Henry's leadership challenge is recognizing this gap, potentially shifting to a model that nurtures both efficiency and patient rapport to lift morale and care quality.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Powerful individuals, like hospital executives, shape decisions with their values say, cost-cutting over diminished influence, delegation, or consistent altruism. In nursing, a CEO's efficiency focus might override staff pleas, impacting care delivery. They rarely delegate big calls, and while effects on others matter, self-congruence often trumps. Leadership navigates this reality; a unit manager might adapt to such edicts, ensuring patient safety despite top-down biases, balancing power dynamics with care priorities in a structured environment.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Autocratic is most effective in emergencies, unlike democratic, laissez-faire, or supportive. Nurse managers like directing a code act decisively, contrasting with delays from consensus. It's critical in healthcare crises for swift action, aligning leadership with life-saving urgency.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Ideal leaders lack cooperative' unlike honest, competent, or forward-looking. Nurse leaders like decisive vision fit this, contrasting with teamwork focus. In healthcare, vision trumps consensus, aligning leadership with traits.
