Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Innovative work schedules allow for nursing management and nursing to develop creative
solutions that are designed to meet the needs of the department.
Nurses do not want to work rotations. Fixed shifts will not allow for creativity and are not a
solution to the problem. Job sharing may benefit the schedule but there is not enough
information provided to determine whether this concept is a solution.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 1. Participatory management gives staff nurses a feeling of empowerment. Nurses report
increased job satisfaction when they share a vested interest in the success of the organization.
Higher salaries do not always increase satisfaction. Magnet hospitals would most likely not
have centralized administration or low nurse/client ratios.
