Effective change agents are creative thinkers committed to quality improvement and go beyond their role to ensure the change occurs successfully. Change agents demonstrate empathy, humor, and respect to support those involved in the change process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorrect_Answer_Explanations\"><\/span>Incorrect Answer Explanations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A. Newly graduated nurse who eager to learn but unsure of their role<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:<\/strong>&nbsp;A newly graduated nurse who is eager, but unsure of their role does not have enough experience to be an effective change agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>C. The unit nurse manager who\u2019s been in their position for 3 years<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:&nbsp;<\/strong>Although the nurse manager is integral to the change process, they are not considered a change agent. Since they are a formal leader who uses strategies to manage change, they would be considered a change leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>D. The healthcare provider who frequently visits the unit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:<\/strong>&nbsp;It is more likely that the healthcare provider would be considered a change leader rather than a change agent, since they are a formal leader.
