Answer to Question 1

a

a. Correct: An Alberta study of hospital nursing characteristics and patient mortality at 49 acute care hospitals found that a higher RN to non-RN skills mix was associated with lower patient mortality, better nursephysician relationships, and less use of casual and temporary employees.
b. Incorrect: A higher RN-to-RPN ratio has been associated with lower rates of nosocomial infection, not higher rates.
c. Incorrect: A higher RN-to-RPN ratio has been associated with better nursephysician collaboration.
d. Incorrect: A higher RN-to-RPN ratio has been associated with lower rates of adverse events in hospitals, such as mortality, hospital-acquired pneumonia, and cardiac arrest.

Answer to Question 2

D
Personal attributes that highlight your capabilities in certain positive employment skills such as being
consistent in your performance, a team player, and a continuous learner enhance a job seeker's
potential. Some of these attributes include attention to detail, seeking out learning opportunities,
reliability in attendance and punctuality, demonstrating resilience in resolving conflict (not resistance
in conflict), performing therapeutic nursing interventions, and providing a safe and comfortable
environment for patients experiencing dementia.
