Answer to Question 1

D
Nurse managers are nurses who are responsible for certain actions and behaviors according to their designated areas or units. They are responsible for assisting new graduate nurses in gaining the skills and experience required to effectively delegate and act as role models. Some additional responsibilities of nurse managers include: 1) coordination and allocation of resources to achieve organizational goals; 2) following the Five Rights of Delegation; 3) being experienced in NAP delegation; and 4) assisting nursing staff (not all staff) in acquiring the ability to effectively delegate.

Answer to Question 2

B
Unproductive time is when staff is not working; it usually includes sick, vacation, personal, holiday,
and education time. Productive time is when staff is working directly with patient care. Direct
expenses are those expenses that are directly associated with the patient. Variable costs fluctuate
depending on the volume, or census, and types of care required.
