Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, D, E

Administrators may serve their careers and no longer the priorities of client-centered care. Nurses in authority who emphasize principles and who focus on client safety can extinguish negative behaviors and encourage nurses at the point of care. Some administrators can be identified by an attitude of arrogance, control, and acceptance of the hierarchical power structure. Nurses should maintain their integrity and that of their profession.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Insurance-based case management is a labor-intensive activity that is provided typically by telephone. Case management involves interdisciplinary teams that assume collaborative responsibility for planning and assessing needs. Case management involves coordinating, implementing, and evaluating care for groups of clients from preadmission through discharge or transfer and recuperation. Approving treatment decisions is not a case management role.
