Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Through quality improvement, the nurse appreciates the value of what each team member can do to improve patient care. When delegating to other health care providers, the nurse understands that the task must be within the scope and abilities of the person to whom it is being delegated. The nurse must know if the task is something that can be delegated. The RN is responsible for assessment of patients even if certain tasks are delegated to others. The person to whom the assignment was delegated cannot delegate that assignment to someone else. Adequate resources must be made available to the delegatee to complete the task

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A nurse does not have to be a manager to be a leader. Even at the bedside, nurses use leadership skills, although possibly in different ways than a nurse manager. The patient care provider must be able to plan, organize, deliver, and evaluate nursing care for patients. An advocate is someone who supports and promotes the interests of others. The RN acts as a patient advocate during the course of treatment. Although many health care organizations have case managers to aid in moving the patient through the health care system, the bedside nurse also acts as a case manager. One important way a nurse can do this is by beginning discharge planning on admission. The clinical nurse leader (CNL) has a master's degree and certification from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Commission on Nurse Certification.
