Answer to Question 1

A
Values are strongly held beliefs and priorities that guide organizational decision making. They are unchanging anchors or fundamentals that relate to the mission and purpose. Values hold constant, whereas operations and business strategies change.

Answer to Question 2

A
Home care agencies staffed appropriately with adequate numbers of professional nurses have the potential to keep older adults, those with disabilities, and persons with chronic illnesses com-fortable and safe at home. Home care is the fastest growing segment in health care and the vo-lume of home health care may have a subsequent impact on the numbers of nurses required.
