Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Since this is a complex assignment, full task force meetings should be held more often to assure the work is progressing.
Rationale 2: The leader should avoid becoming too closely aligned with one subgroup.
Rationale 3: This work plan will be necessary to keep all subgroups on task.
Rationale 4: Time lines should be realistic and firm.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. Staffing and scheduling is the responsibility of the nurse manager. The American Nurses
Association (ANA) has developed principles for nurse staffing, and nurse managers follow
those guidelines. The Joint Commission does not identify specific levels of nursing care hours
for specific patient populations. Although the hospital administration must ensure that the
right number of competent staff is provided to meet patient needs, the responsibility of staffing
has been delegated to the nurse manager or charge nurse.
