Answer to Question 1

D
Indirect expenses are items such as utilities, gas, electricity, and phones that are not directly related to
patient care. Fixed costs are those expenses that are constant and not related to productivity or volume.
Variable costs fluctuate depending on the volume, or census, and types of care required. Direct
expenses are those expenses that can be directly associated with patient care.

Answer to Question 2

C
Step Three: Surveillance and supervision in the NCSBN Delegation Decision-Making Tree is related to the nurse's responsibility for client care from a supervisory role. The nurse who operates in this stage considers client's health care status and stability of condition, predictability of risks and responses, setting where the care occurs, and complexity of the task being performed; determines the frequency of the supervision required; and is responsible for the timely intervention and follow-up based on problems and concerns (NCSBN, 1995).
