Answer to Question 1

A
A SWOT analysis is a tool that is frequently used to conduct environmental assessments. SWOT
stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. A stakeholder assessment consists of a
would-be group of people with similar experiences who come together to discuss their experiences at
an institution in the hope that the discussion will lead to insights or information that might not have
been considered by the health care team, but could be used for improving care or marketing services in
the future. A review of the literature identifies similar programs, structures, organizations, potential
problems and pitfalls, and successes. Prioritizing according to available resources is needed once all
strategic goals and objectives have been identified.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D, E
Goal setting and self-evaluation have been noted to be measures that new graduates can use to become the nurse they wish to be. Some of these potential goals for new graduates include: 1) give and receive professional respect to and from the health care team; 2) monitor data that your patients are satisfied, pain-free, and feel cared about; 3) dress like a professional; 4) communicate pride in being a nurse; 5) pass the NCLEX-RN exam; and 6) offer professional nursing service to your patients and the community (not solely keeping this where you work).
