Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 1. Research has indicated baccalaureate-prepared nurses have an effect on postoperative
mortality rates. Increasing the number of unlicensed assistive personnel, LPN/LVN, and/or
registered nurses may meet the staffing needs but the manager anticipates a higher than usual
acuity of these clients.

Rationale 2: When conflict around a change occurs, more people become aware of the issue, and because of curiosity or interest, more people become involved in the process.
