Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. The first step in planning any program is a needs assessment. This is the same as the first step
of the nursing process. The manager must first assess the level of knowledge the staff have
regarding the topic. Then the manager is able to determine what education is needed.
Advertising, marketing, obtaining current information, and writing the objectives are all steps
in planning the program, but not the first step.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The manager should protect the party's self-respect. Characterizing them as immature is not appropriate.
Rationale 2: The manager should not put the blame for the problem on the parties involved, but should make them responsible for finding a solution.
Rationale 3: Having the parties summarize the discussion helps to ensure active listening.
Rationale 4: The manager should encourage full discussion and should plan adequate time for this to occur.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
