Answer to Question 1

D
Effective shift planning involves deciding what goals or outcomes are to be achieved. Identifying optimal outcomes (best possible objectives) as well as reasonable outcomes (realistic objectives given the available resources at hand), and evaluating progress made toward these outcomes during and at the end of shift are qualities that lead to effective planning during one's shift. Often enough, nurses do not allow themselves permission to do less-than-optimal work, but sometimes, due to circumstances beyond their control (e.g., being short staffed), achieving reasonable goals is the best that can be expected.

Answer to Question 2

C
Recapping safety devices in each room
