Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing
Marquis, Huston · 10th Edition
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing (10th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 25 chapters.
Overview
Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing (10th Edition) is the text most BSN leadership and management courses build their curriculum around, and its 25 chapters move from decision-making theory through the full range of what a nurse leader actually does. This study guide is written from scratch to match it chapter for chapter, so you review in the same order Marquis and Huston present the material and always know where a topic fits. For every chapter you get a plain-English summary of the key concepts, the chapter's learning objectives laid out up front, and NCLEX-style practice questions with a full rationale for every answer, so it teaches you why each choice is right or wrong rather than just handing you a key. You'll start with decision making, critical thinking, and classical and 21st-century leadership theory, then move through ethical and legal issues, advocacy, organizational planning, change, time management, fiscal planning, and career development. From there you'll cover organizational structure and power, organizing patient care, staff recruitment and socialization, staffing and scheduling, motivation, communication and team building, delegation, conflict and negotiation, collective bargaining, quality and patient safety, performance appraisal, and managing problem employees. Every chapter is matched to the 10th Edition's numbering so your review stays in sync with lecture. As you study you'll practice applying leadership and management theory to realistic unit scenarios, the kind of applied-reasoning questions this course and the NCLEX's management-of-care content both favor, and you'll get comfortable distinguishing leadership behaviors from management functions even when a single scenario calls for both. Whether you're prepping for a unit exam, a final, or reviewing leadership content before the licensure exam, this printable companion is built to be highlighted, annotated, and kept for the whole program. Original, independently written, and not affiliated with the publisher.
Aligned with undergraduate nursing leadership and management courses and written in an NCLEX-RN style — the practice questions mirror how management-of-care content is tested on course exams and the licensure exam.
