Answer to Question 1

A
McClelland's Model of Motivation focuses on achievement, power, and affiliation. Growth needs,
relatedness needs, and existence needs are aspects of Adler's model. Collective decision making,
quality circles, and mentoring are the focus of Ouchi's model. Self-actualization needs, safety and
security needs, and self-esteem needs are reflected in Maslow's model.

Answer to Question 2

C
Organizations are responsible for providing an environment that is conducive to the determination and maintenance of competent staff and for effective nursing delegation. Some of these organizational responsibilities include: 1) designing policies and procedures that are congruent with the State Nurse Practice Act; 2) documenting staff competencies for staff who provide direct patient care; 3) implementing a system that ensures ongoing education of the staff (not only registered nurses) to maintain their competencies; and 4) allocating resources for adequate nurse staffing that allows the nurse to delegate appropriately (ANA and NCSBN, 2006).
