Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Previous work schedules, the units budget, and the human resources policy do not affect
changes to a units scheduling policy. Reviewing the suggested changes and how they affect
costs and benefit the organization will assist the director in making a sound decision.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. High turnover rate would increase salaries because the unit would be paying additional wages
to orient a new nurse. Low client acuity does not affect salaries to increase. Increase in tuition
reimbursement is not taken from the budgeted account of salaries. The managers worked
hours do not apply because most managers are salaried employees.
