Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. A capital budget is a component of the budget plan that includes equipment and renovations
needed by an organization in order to meet long-term goals. A revenue budget is a projection
of expected income for a budget period based on volume and mix of patients, rates, and
discounts. An expense budget is a comprehensive budget that lists salary and nonsalary items
that reflect patient care objectives and activity parameters for the nursing unit. An operating
budget is the organizations statement of the expected revenues and expenses for the upcoming
year.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. A merit raise is one that is given to an employee as a reward for completing a specific number
of years of service. Merit raises are calculated on base pay. A premium is a fixed dollar amount
added to the base hourly rate of eligible personnel. Cost-of-living raises are factored into
budget projections and are not related to shift work or merit. A bonus is a specific amount of
money awarded as a one-time payout and is not based on base hourly pay.
