Answer to Question 1

1,2,4,5
Rationale 1: When delegation is appropriate, work gets done in a timely manner and overtime decreases.
Rationale 2: Delegation helps get work done efficiently and effectively. Absences tend to decrease in this environment.
Rationale 3: Delegation is permitted by state boards of nursing, but it is not required.
Rationale 4: Delegation results in care that is efficient and effective. Efficient and effective care results in increased patient satisfaction.
Rationale 5: Delegation results in each part of the team working at their designated skill level. Nurses are not doing tasks that could be done by assistants. This results in increased productivity.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. An expenditure report for the month is not necessary. The assistant manager has an expense
report, which shows line items that were spent. A variance report provides a rationale for
over-expenses for the month that could be due to an unexpected expense. Non-revenue and
expense lines have nothing to do with determining why the unit is over budget.
