Answer to Question 1

B
In documenting staff problems, it is important to specifically indicate what rules were broken or violated, consequences if behavior is not altered, employee's explanation of the incidents, and the plan of action to achieve and to reach new goals.

Answer to Question 2

Baby boomers are currently over 77 million strong. A sufficient number of nurses must be ready to meet the demand when they reach the age when they will consume the greatest number of health care goods and services.
