Answer to Question 1

2, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. Nurse managers must be aware of the responsibility of doing more with fewer resources and
in some cases, less nursing and support staff. Complicated technology forces the nurse
manager to keep up with the ever-present changes within the health care system. The only
