Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Formal, structured, bureaucratic controls, such as tightly written job descriptions, extensive rules, and strict procedures elicit control by implying that not following procedures will result in a negative outcome for the employee. Continuous quality improvement activities are more flexible and are done with the employees. Activities done with employees tend to produce better control and less staff resistance.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

There is no requirement for the nurse to have personal knowledge or expertise in a delegated skill, nor is there a requirement for the nurse to learn that skill. The nurse also is not required to transfer total care of the client to another registered nurse. Examples of such skills might be delegating food choice selection to a dietician.
