The clearly stated goal looks at

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: All what, when, how define clear goals. Nurse leaders like care plans use this, contrasting with vagueness. In healthcare, precision drives outcomes, aligning leadership with structured intent and execution.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Low staff morale is an internal force within Henry's unit, unlike external pressures like CEO memos, labor demands, or regulations. A memo might shift resource use, wage calls affect staffing, and standards mandate compliance all outside influences. Morale, though, reflects internal dynamics like nurse burnout requiring Henry's direct intervention, perhaps through team-building. Distinguishing this helps him address root causes within his control, enhancing patient care by first stabilizing his team amidst external pressures.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Azithromycin's most common side effect is abdominal cramps and diarrhea, not nephrotoxicity, jaundice, or penicillin allergy. As a macrolide, it disrupts gut flora, causing GI upset in up to 10% of users unlike rare kidney or liver effects, or penicillin's distinct allergy profile. Leadership in nursing anticipates this imagine a patient with loose stools; warning them ensures adherence, not alarm. This knowledge guides education, distinguishing normal from severe reactions, aligning care with pharmacology and patient safety effectively in antibiotic therapy.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Contingency Theory ties behavior to personality and situation, unlike security focus, inspiration, or missing. Nurse managers adapt like shifting styles in crises contrasting with fixed traits. It's key in healthcare's variability, aligning leadership with situational effectiveness.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: With 35 weeks gestation and 18-hour rupture, unknown GBS status prioritizes prophylactic antibiotics, not contractions, no exams, or urine. Prolonged rupture risks GBS sepsis in the neonate antibiotics (e.g., penicillin) cut this, especially preterm. Contractions matter, exams risk infection, and urine's unrelated. Leadership acts here imagine a feverish mom; antibiotics protect the baby, aligning with ACOG guidelines. This reflects nursing's focus on infection prevention, ensuring maternal-fetal safety effectively.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: All accepting, studying, learning enhance understanding. Nurse leaders like diverse care do this, contrasting with ignorance. In healthcare, it bridges gaps, aligning leadership with inclusivity.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Chest pain signals a potential cardiac emergency, like myocardial infarction, where time is muscle. Performing a 12-lead ECG first assesses for ischemia or infarction ST elevation or Q waves providing critical data to guide urgent treatment, aligning with the ABC (airway, breathing, circulation) priority of circulation. This rapid diagnostic step informs whether nitroglycerin (for angina) or oxygen (for hypoxia) is needed, avoiding delays that worsen outcomes. Obtaining a history, while vital, is secondary to immediate assessment, as pain details won't alter the ECG's urgency. Administering nitroglycerin or oxygen without ECG risks masking symptoms or misprioritizing if non-cardiac (e.g., pneumothorax). The ECG's immediacy ensures accurate, timely intervention, safeguarding the client's life in a high-stakes admission scenario.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Vision uses action words and reflects purpose, but magnifying activities is false, unlike missing. Nurse managers like we deliver care' focus on goals, contrasting with task lists. It's vital in healthcare for direction, aligning leadership with aspiration (assumed B).

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Terbutaline is a tocolytic, not betamethasone (steroid), carboprost, or methergine (uterotonics). It relaxes the uterus delaying labor, unlike drugs that promote contraction. Leadership knows this imagine preterm relief; it aligns with obstetric care effectively. This reflects nursing's understanding of labor management.
