When developing long-term goals, the nurse manager is always aware that these goals should remain:
 
  a. long. c. flexible.
  b. short. d. inflexible.

Question 2

A nurse manager observes that a few of the new employees continue to mismanage their time, which results in a flurry of activities that do not achieve the expected outcome goals for the time spent.
 
  The most likely cause of this behavior is that the nurses: a. want to appear busy.
  b. love crises.
  c. know about time management but do not think it applies to them.
  d. think they are far too superior to need to plan their time.

Answer to Question 1

C
It is important, when making long-term goals and outcomes, that they remain flexible. The concept of
flexibility should be built into any outcome orientation such as goal setting because, at times, the
long-term goals may no longer be realistic or may need to be changed as circumstances change.

Answer to Question 2

B
Unfortunately, many people still function in the crisis mode to get things done. An example of this
would be a student who does not study for an exam until the night before, thereby creating a crisis
that stimulates them to do the work. People continue to mismanage their time for other reasons: they
do not know about time management, or they think they do not have time to plan or do not want to
stop to plan.
