Which of the following is not a requirement for leadership?

Choice A reason: Organizational ethics refer to the values, standards, and norms that guide the behavior of individuals within an organization. While important, they are not typically encapsulated by laws or legal standards.

Choice B reason: Personal ethics are the principles that an individual holds about what is right and wrong. These are subjective and vary from person to person, and do not usually have the formal backing of law.

Choice C reason: Societal ethics are the moral guidelines observed by a society or culture. They can influence laws and regulations but are broader in scope, including unwritten social norms.

Choice D reason: Professional ethics are the correct answer because they are codified in laws, legal standards, and regulatory parameters. They provide a framework for professional conduct and are enforced by professional bodies to ensure accountability and integrity within a profession.

Choice A reason: QSEN is the national leader in defining nursing competency, focusing on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for nurses to improve the quality and safety of the healthcare systems in which they work.

Choice B reason: The Ohio Board of Nursing (OBN) regulates nursing practice within the state of Ohio, but it is not the national leader in defining nursing competency.

Choice C reason: The National Institute of Health (NIH) is a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and is the nation's medical research agency, but it does not specifically focus on defining nursing competency.

Choice D reason: The National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF) was dedicated to improving the safety of patients, but it merged with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and is not the primary organization for defining nursing competency.
