Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Originated policies are usually developed to guide subordinates in their functions. Imposed policies come from external sources such as laws and labor unions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Policies and procedures have different purposes. State law influences the policies and procedures that relate to what tasks personnel can have delegated to them. The organization's structure also influences who can delegate what. Nurse managers should implement the policies consistently.
