Answer 1

A nurse correctly implements democratic leadership in a group focused on learning conflict resolution techniques by asking for group suggestions of techniques and then supporting discussion (option C).

Step-by-step explanation:

A nurse correctly implements democratic leadership in a group focused on learning conflict resolution techniques by asking for group suggestions of techniques and then supporting discussion (option C). Democratic leaders encourage group participation in decision-making and consensus-building before taking action. By involving the group members in the decision-making process and allowing them to share their ideas and opinions, the nurse promotes a sense of ownership and collaboration within the group.
