Answer to Question 1

C
Staff responsibilities for health care service delivery can be varied according to licensure, knowledge, and job role. Some factors and responsibilities pertaining to registered nurses include: 1) RNs are responsible for the patient outcome; 2) RNs are responsible for analysis of comprehensive assessment, nursing diagnosis, implementation, and evaluation of the plan of care (They are not responsible for the viability of the patient treatment plan as this falls under the physician or health care provider's role.); 3) RNs are accountable for the provision of nursing care; and 4) RNs need the support of nursing assistive personnel.

Answer to Question 2

B
Overall, organizational performance is dependent on the insight and skill that the staff hold related to
patient care quality and financial outcomes. Managers must engage the staff to understand the budget
process and implement strategies that positively affect the budget, which is in alignment with the
organization's strategic plan and is, in turn, guided by the administration.
