Feedback
A Incorrect because the Magnet Model fos-ters transformational leadership.
B Correct because this is the fourth compo-nent of the model.
C Incorrect because Magnet recommends certification and BSN prepared staff, but it is not one of the five major components.
D Incorrect because the Magnet Model does not foster a patient-focused, but more likely a patient-centered, philosophy. However it is not one of the five compo-nents.
