Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The middle-level manager is solely responsible for planning changes and presenting them to up-per-level managers. The other activities are not the exclusive responsibility of the middle-level manager.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
As a leader, the charge nurse should assist the RNs to prioritize their patient care responsibilities to allow for safer care to be provided. The other actions may correct the immediate problem that day but will not change the care provided over a length of time if RNs are lacking prioritization skills.
