Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C
Establish goals and priorities for each day. The nurse should identify what needs to be accomplished each day, differentiating need to do from nice to do tasks. Then nurse should establish a time line so that it is clearly evident when he or she is falling behind schedule, in time to correct it. The nurse should evaluate success or failure and use the results to plan the next day 's time management. The nurse should plan to arrive at least 15 minutes or more before the start of shift so that he or she can be prepared to receive change of shift report. Then nurse should plan time to assist his cohorts instead of them helping him. The cohorts may be too busy to assist or may need assistance themselves.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C, D
The most common reasons people resist change are threat to self, lack of understanding, fear of increased responsibility, envisioning a lack of benefits to the change, and being unable to tolerate working in a state of flux. Dislike of the hospital CEO is not a common reason to resist change.
