How is leadership affected by using the behavioral/situational framework?
1. Use of the framework allows the inexperienced nurse leader to make faster decisions.
2. Use of the framework will enable the nurse leader to make better-informed decisions.
3. The leadership behaviors of the nurse manager will improve after the framework is in use for 2 years.
4. The goals the nurse manager sets and explores using the framework will be more important for the facility.
Answer: 2
Rationale: The framework enables the nurse manager to make more informed decisions as each aspect of the situation and the people involved and affected are considered. The framework does not necessarily allow the leader to make faster decisions. There is also no indication that the behavioral/situational framework needs to be used for a particular amount of time before improvement is observed. The goal set by the leader is not necessarily made more important just by using the framework.
