Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Even the novice nurse manager should realize that delegating is part of the role.
Rationale 2: Fear of decreased personal satisfaction should be diminished by the increased opportunity to explore new challenges and gain other skills and experiences.
Rationale 3: The novice nurse manager would not fear increased liability if delegating to competent, more experienced nurses.
Rationale 4: The novice nurse manager may be insecure and fear that another staff member could perform the task more effectively. There is a fear that a successful delegate could threaten the nurse manager's credibility as a leader.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Efficiency variance is a reflection of the difference between budgeted and actual nursing -care
hours provided. Nonsalary expenditure variance is a deviation from the budget as a result of
changes in client volume, supply quantities, or prices paid. Rate variance is the difference
between budgeted and actual hourly rates paid. Volume variances are the differences in the
budget as a result of increases or decreases in patient volume.
