Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Nurses often allocate resources, design, plan, coordinate, and evaluate community-based health services. Policy making addresses a macroeconomics issue. It is true that nurses need to know about microeconomics in order to use resources appropriately, but the scope of quality of care and use of health care supplies is larger than the scope of only microeconomics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Efficiency relates to producing maximal output given a set of resources. Using time wisely through delegation is the best example of using efficiency. Program evaluation, trying new prod-ucts, and setting up a clinic are not examples of producing maximal output given a set of re-sources.
