The hospital's management team wishes to institute case management to improve the quality of nursing care. As a beginning step, the team is choosing specific medical diagnoses on which to focus.
 
  What criteria should the team use when choosing these diagnoses? 1. Diagnoses given to only a few clients
  2. Diagnoses that carry high risk for the client and the provider
  3. Diagnoses that have low reimbursement rates
  4. Diagnoses that involve as few providers as possible

Question 2

A nursing supervisor is setting up a new unit and must make a blanket decision about whether the unit will be staffed on 12-hour shifts or 8-hour shifts. What should this supervisor keep in mind when making this decision?
 
  1. Staffing 8-hour shifts uses slightly more full-time equivalents (FTEs).
  2. Staffing 12-hour shifts uses more full-time equivalents (FTEs).
  3. Staffing 12-hour shifts uses significantly fewer full-time equivalents (FTEs).
  4. There is no difference in the full-time equivalents (FTEs) required.
