Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Complexity of client care, a multilevel nursing model (registered nurses, mixed with LPNs/LVNs, and UNPs), and community-based care provide many challenges in determining the care required and outcomes desired and/or mandated, and in matching needs with various abilities and authority of regulated and unregulated healthcare providers. The nurse manager should ensure that staff is clinically competent and trained in their roles in patient safety.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Delegation refers to transfer of responsibility for work; the day shift nurse retains accountability for the outcomes of patient care.
