Answer to Question 1

B
Span of control is used to designate the number of individuals that report to the nurse manager. The
nurse manager does not have supervisory responsibilities over patients, family members, and visitors
because these individuals do not have a direct reporting relationship with the nurse manager.

Answer to Question 2

Correct answers should include the following points:
o Influence of ideals: nurses' original ideals about nursing (i.e., the desire to care for others and make a difference)
o Paradox: How the nurses' view of their profession as caring was challenged by seeing nurses who were uncaring. Also reflects the nurses' ambivalence about being viewed only as caring and their desire to be seen and knowledgeable and competent.
o Role of others: Desire to be accepted by others. Nurses not only assumed the values and behaviours of other nurses but also behaved in ways the public expected of their profession.

Answer to Question 3

C

Feedback
A Because it is not necessarily useful in determining the appropriate patient care delivery systems needed.
B Because it is not necessarily useful in determining the appropriate patient care delivery systems needed.
C Work allocation is necessary in any patient care delivery system.
D Because it is not necessarily useful in determining the appropriate patient care delivery systems needed.
