Answer to Question 1

A
Organizational change is usually planned, and the purpose is generally to improve efficiency or
financial standing, or for some other organizational purpose. Personal change is a change made
voluntarily for self-improvement.

Answer to Question 2

D
The written assignment sheet is one method in which nurses can organize and delegate patient care to members of the health care team. Some of the functions and expectations of a written assignment sheet include: 1) transmits information on what care is to be provided by whom per shift; 2) provides NAPs with a list of patients they are to care for per shift; and 3) provides nurses with a list of patients they are responsible for per shift. While the registered nurse does use the written assignment sheet to delegate and assign care, the responsibility for care ultimately remains with the nurse, as NAPs can provide care, but cannot assume full responsibility for patient care.
