A nurse is preparing a presentation about hospice care services. Which of the following statements should the nurse plan to make during the presentation?

A. Transactional leaders use a system of rewards and punishments to manage and motivate their team. They focus on maintaining normal operations and achieving set goals through a clear structure where performance is rewarded. For example, a transactional leader might use bonuses or other incentives to encourage staff to meet specific performance targets.
B. Laissez-faire leaders adopt a hands-off approach, allowing team members considerable freedom to make decisions and manage their work. This style does not typically involve the use of rewards to achieve goals but rather depends on the autonomy and self-regulation of team members.
C. Transformational leaders inspire and motivate their team by creating a vision for the future and encouraging personal and professional growth. They focus on changing and improving the organization through innovation and inspiration. Transformational leaders aim to foster a sense of purpose and commitment rather than relying primarily on rewards.
D. Bureaucratic leaders follow established procedures and rules strictly. They emphasize adherence to policies and protocols and ensure that the work environment is orderly and predictable. Bureaucratic leadership may be effective in highly regulated environments but does not primarily involve motivational rewards.

A. The "right person" refers to ensuring that the task is delegated to an individual who has the appropriate skills, knowledge, and training for the task. While important, this does not directly address the ongoing monitoring of task completion.
B. The "right communication" involves providing clear, concise instructions about the task, including what needs to be done, how it should be done, and any specific expectations. Although communication is essential for effective delegation, checking in throughout the shift pertains more to the oversight and monitoring of the task.
C. The "right supervision" involves providing appropriate oversight and monitoring of the tasks delegated. This includes checking on the progress and ensuring that the tasks are being completed as expected. When the nurse checks with assistive personnel throughout the shift to determine if tasks are being completed, they are demonstrating the "right supervision."
D. The "right circumstances" involves ensuring that the situation is appropriate for delegating the task, including the conditions and context in which the task is performed. This right addresses the appropriateness of the delegation based on the current environment and patient needs, but it does not specifically relate to monitoring or following up on task completion.
