Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4

Rationale: The nursing supervisor who is responsible for the entire nursing budget is practicing centralized decision making. This requires an enormous amount of authority. The nurse manager discussing hiring decisions and the staff nurse discussing a problem with the nurse manager are examples of decentralized decision making without much authority. While the charge nurse decides which nurses go home early is an example of decentralized decision making, more authority is needed to decide budgetary issues.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1

Rationale: Decentralized management eliminates the need for levels of management, since nurse managers make more decisions for staff and client care. It also requires more decision making at the operational level. Centralized decision making occurs at the administrative level and requires more levels of management.
