Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, C, E

The nurse manager plans and develops specific goals and objectives for his or her area of responsibility. The manager identifies and manages unplanned and unexpected events that interfere with getting work done efficiently, effectively, and in a timely manner. The manager must also develop operational plans for implementation, such as acquiring devices and training staff. A plan addresses the questions of what, why, where, when, how, and by whom. Coordination is part of organization, not planning.
