Answer to Question 1

C
Supply items such as office supplies, intravenous solutions, instruments, linen, gloves and other personal protective equipment, medical/surgical supplies, and drugs, are examples of supplies that would vary with a higher volume of patient days. These supply items are variable (the amount used will vary based on the volume of service provided).

Answer to Question 2

C
Change is always difficult, especially when it has been forced on people, threatens their security, or seems unnecessary. Change is more palatable when nurses participate in the planning and im-plementation and see that it is worthwhile.
