Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. When effective delegation takes place in an organization, everyone benefits. Personal skills and
confidence increase, there is increased time for other tasks and management responsibilities,
and higher job satisfaction. All of these lead to higher client satisfaction, which is the ultimate
goal of nursing care and nursing management.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Low client acuity does not cause salary cost to increase.
Rationale 2: Tuition reimbursement is a benefit, not salary.
Rationale 3: High turnover rate would increase salaries because of overtime wages to cover when nurses leave and additional staff hours for orienting newly hired nurses, as well as the cost of agency nurses.
Rationale 4: A cost-of-living raise would have been figured into the budget.
