Evolve HESI Leadership/Management
1. Which actions of the nurse
exhibit transactional lead-
ership? Select all that ap-
ply.
1 Motivating or inspiring
the employees
2 Meeting the targets within
the deadline
3 Working according to or-
ganizational rules
4 Correcting the errors in a
reactive manner
5 Increasing the employee
commitment of an organi-
zation
2, 3, 4
The characteristics of transactional leadership
include valuing the orders and structures of an
organization. The nurse who exhibits transac-
tional leadership will meet the targets within
the deadline given by the organization. The
nurse will also follow the rules of an organiza-
tion and will correct the errors of an employee
in a reactive manner.
Motivating or inspiring the employees and in-
creasing employee commitment are the char-
acteristics of transformational leadership.
2. The unit nurse manager
comes to work obviously
intoxicated. Which action is
the staff nurse ethically ob-
ligated to take?
1 Call the security guard.
2 Tell the nurse manager to
go home.
3 Have the supervisor vali-
date the observation.
4 Offer the nurse manager
a large cup of coffee
3 Have the supervisor validate the observa-
tion.
The staff nurse should call the hospital super-
visor to confirm and handle the problem. The
security guard has no authority in this situation.
Although sending the nurse manager home
removes the nurse manager from the clinical
setting, this action misses an opportunity for
documenting the situation and the nurse man-
ager is in no condition to drive safely. Drinking
coffee does not make a person less intoxicat-
ed.
3. Which aspects are consid-
ered when determining the
willingness of a nursing as-
sistant before delegating a
task? Select all that apply.
1 Ability
2 Attitude
2, 4, 5
An individual's willingness is related to attitude,
confidence, and commitment.
Ability is related to knowledge and skills in
a specific situation. Personality characteristics

can influence the effectiveness of the delega-

4. Which performance ap-
praisal method is used by
nurse managers to mea-
sure the performance of
the nurse both qualitatively
and quantitatively?
1 Narrative method
2 Critical incidents method
3 Graphic rating scale form
4 Behaviorally anchored
rating scales
4
The behaviorally anchored rating scale is a
performance appraisal method that provides
an overview of nursing standards by determin-
ing performance both qualitatively and quanti-
tatively.
The narrative method requires a manager to
write a statement about the nurse's perfor-
mance. The critical incidents type is a perfor-
mance appraisal method in which a manager
keeps a written record of positive and negative
performance. The graphic rating scale form is
a performance appraisal checklist on which a
manager rates the nurse's performance on a
continuum such as excellent, good, average,
and poor.
5. The healthcare team is car-
ing for clients in an emer-
gency department. How
soon should the clients
triaged as an emergency
severity index-3 (ESI-3) be
seen by the physician ac-
cording to the five level
triage system?
1 Immediately
2 Within 1 hour
3 Could be delayed
4 Within 10 minutes
2 Within 1 hour
The clients triaged as an ESI-3 should be seen
by the physician within an hour.
The clients with life-threatening problems are
triaged as ESI-1, and they should be provided
with immediate care. The care of the clients in
ESI-4 and ESI-5 can be delayed for some time
because the condition of the clients in this level
is stable. Clients with major injuries are triaged
as an ESI-2 and require treatment within 10
minutes.
6. Which question does the
registered nurse recognize
1 "Is the delegation appropriate to the situa-
tion?"

as related to the right of cir-
cumstance when delegat-
ing?

priate to the situation?"
2 "Is the task within the
delegatee's scope of prac-
tice?"
3 "Is the prospective dele-
gate a willing and able em-
ployee?"
4 "Is the delegator able to
monitor and evaluate the
client appropriately?"
The question, "Is the delegation appropriate to
the situation?" is related to right circumstance.

tee's scope of practice?" is related to right task.
The question, "Is the prospective delegate a
willing and able employee?" is related to right
person. The question, "Is the delegator able to
monitor and evaluate the client appropriately?"
is related to right supervision.
7. Which factors does the reg-
istered nurse consider in

process? Select all that ap-
ply.
1 Evaluation
2 Nursing judgment
3 Predictability of out-
comes

sessment
5 Complexity of the task to
be performed

egate process are predictability of outcomes
and complexity of the task to be performed.
Evaluation, nursing judgment, and pervasive
functions are not factors in the decision to del-
egate process.
8. Under a leader, a team
of followers has failed

bers for failure
2 Provides excuses for the
negative outcome
3 Refuses to take the re-
sponsibility for failure
4 Accepts failure and gains
experience from it

for the negative outcome is not the correct ac-
tion of the effective leader. The effective leader
should take responsibility for the failure and the
growth he or she will gain from it.
