Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: The first step is always to assess, so reviewing patterns of time use is correct.
Rationale 2: Deciding to purchase a new notebook system for time management is implementing a strategy and is not the first step of the process.
Rationale 3: Identifying essential job activities would come second as a result of reviewing patterns of time use.
Rationale 4: Setting a goal of prioritizing tasks every morning is a part of planning and is not the first step of the process.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1,2
Rationale 1: There is role conflict present. Is this nurse to provide care or complete managerial tasks?
Rationale 2: The supervisor must be confronted and must understand that the two roles being asked of this nurse are in conflict.
Rationale 3: Often nurses who are overloaded believe they can continue to carry the current load if only I could get more organized.
Rationale 4: The real problem here is conflicting role expectations, not the nurse's inability to work hard.
Rationale 5: Calling in sick is not going to change the expectations when the manager returns to work.
Global Rationale:
