The nurse has just interviewed with a nurse manager. The manager offers the nurse an opportunity to tour the unit and meet potential coworkers.
 
  Why is this a beneficial opportunity? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. It allows the candidate to learn more about the unit.
  2. It allows the candidate to make a final determination about whether the unit is a good work environment.
  3. It allows the candidate to make some assessment of coworkers.
  4. It allows the candidate to determine nurse-to-client ratios.
  5. It allows the candidate a first look at the types of clients served by the unit.

Question 2

A newly appointed nurse manager has just completed education on time-management skills. Which statement would the instructor evaluate as indicating this nurse understands the basic concepts of time management?
 
  1. My job as a nurse manager is so dynamic that I probably will not be able to attain true time management.
  2. The key to using time management is to respect my time as well as the time of others.
  3. If I am going to be able to manage time, the hospital will need to invest in a computer-based time-management system.
  4. The most important aspect of time management for me is to manage paperwork flow.

Rationale 1: This tour allows the candidate to see the unit in action and learn more about how it operates.

Rationale 3: The nurse is constantly assessing, and a tour allows contact with coworkers for this assessment.
Rationale 4: One tour is unlikely to provide the candidate with this opportunity.
Rationale 5: The candidate should be aware of the types of clients served by the unit prior to applying for the position.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2
