Answer to Question 1

C
Empowerment includes increasing nurses' authority by ensuring that they have the necessary knowledge, skills, and resources to effectively make the decisions for which they are held ac-countable. This means removing barriers to decision making and allowing staff nurses the au-thority to make client decisions in real time, as needs demand, rather than requiring nurses to obtain numerous approvals.

Answer to Question 2

D
Although responsibility may be shared with the person to whom one is delegating, accountability of the nurse is never transferred. Nurses have the authority to delegate tasks to unlicensed assis-tive personnel, are accountable for all tasks (even those that have been indirectly delegated), and it is the responsibility of the nurse to assure that the delegated task is performed correctly.
