Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The eight-step program of planned change is similar to the nursing process of assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. After this process, measures are taken to ensure that the change is stabilized and made permanent.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
We are in a difficult transition period between the old and the new age. In the old age, change was viewed as an entity to be planned, carefully managed, and accepted. In the new quantum age, change is conceived as dynamic, ever-present, and continually unfolding.
