Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Rationale: A standing plan allows the nurse manager to plan for daily, weekly, or monthly activities of running the unit. Therefore, the nurse managers are using standing planning to avoid using staffing agencies in an effort to decrease costs. Strategic planning is long-range planning for the organization to remain competitive, long-range planning involves updating organizational goals for the next 5 or 10 years, and there is no such type as visionary planning.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1

Rationale: Conflict is not always detrimental to a department or organization. It can lead to meaningful communication and help an organization move forward with changes advantageous to the organization. Conflict can also assist in getting work accomplished in a department, or between two or more departments.
