The staff development nurse determines a PALS (pediatric advanced life support) certification course is appropriate to offer. While developing the course, the nurse determines which of the following items should be considered?
 
  1. Staff nurses as educators
  2. Providing written material, hands-on practice, and feedback regarding performance
  3. Assigning nurse educators with new nurses
  4. Their CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) skills

Question 2

An experienced nurse manager is serving as mentor to a newly appointed manager. The experienced manager says, Always try to keep your staff as well informed as possible about what is going on at the administrative level.
 
   What rationale should the manager offer for this advice? 1. Nursing involvement at the administrative level is required by accrediting agencies.
  2. Involvement of all departments in the agency supports the organizations' management style.
  3. Staff members who are kept informed are less likely to be suspicious and spread rumors.
  4. Sharing both the positive and negative information from administration helps to reduce the manager's stress.

Answer to Question 1

Explanation: 1. A course may utilize staff nurses who are trained to instruct the course and assign nurses to

Rationale 4: The purpose of sharing information is not to reduce the manager's stress.
