Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4
Explanation: 1. The participants reaction to the program, learning that the participant acquired, and the
impact on the organization are all elements of evaluation. The staff development nurse may be
interested in which tools the participants thought were useful, but preferred tools are not
evaluation criteria.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: One of the most important time wasters in nursing at all levels is failing to delegate tasks that another lower level staff member could do.
Rationale 2: Staff should not routinely attend management meetings.
Rationale 3: The manager must be available during the busier times on the unit, especially in emergencies. Setting the manager's work schedule to avoid these busy times is not appropriate.
Rationale 4: Seeing staff only by appointment does not fulfill the job responsibilities of a nurse manager.
