Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, D
Before planning to make a change, a nurse manager should consider the following; What is amenable to change? Considering this question might reveal a behavior not amenable to change. How does the group function as a unit? Is the person or group ready for change and, if so, at what rate can that change be expected to be accepted? Are the changes major or minor? A series of small changes might be more easily accomplished than one large, dramatic change. Change is inevitable; a more appropriate question to ask is how often this change needs to be evaluated.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Delegation of activities to staff members will assist them to grow and become more committed to their organization.
