Answer to Question 2

B, C, E, F
When nurses make assignments per shift, a number of important factors should be considered. Some of these are: 1) priority of patient needs; 2) attitude and dependability of staff; 3) unit routines; 4) geography of the nursing unit; 5) insurance education program (not insurance liability coverage for staff during patient care activities); and 6) environmental concerns (not necessarily staff environmental needs and control of environment).
