Answer to Question 2

D
A patient classification system is a measurement tool used to articulate the nursing workload for a specific patient or group of patients over a specified period of time. Benchmarking is a management tool for seeking out the best practices in one's industry. Skill mix is the ratio of RN staff to other direct patient care staff. Staffing patterns are plans that articulate how many and what kind of staff are needed per shift and by day to staff a unit or department.
