The CNO (chief nurse officer) is evaluating the turnover rate amongst the nursing personnel. The hospital has a high turnover rate of registered nurses compared to a competing hospital. Which of the following should the CNO analyze?
 
  1. Regulatory changes
  2. Wages
  3. Organizational changes
  4. Use of resources

Question 2

During orientation a newly employed nurse asks about the process of reporting such things as bomb threats to the organization. The person conducting the orientation says, Well, I guess you should call 911.
 
   What is incorrect about this statement? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. The person who is doing the orientation should be aware of the reporting policy.
  2. The nurse should have been told to notify security.
  3. The nurse should never call 911 from the hospital.
  4. The nurse should have been told to follow the reporting policy.
  5. The nurse should have been reported as suspicious for asking the question.

Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Regulatory changes would affect nurse-to-client ratios. Organizational changes and use of
resources are too-general terms and do not provide enough information. Wages directly affect
turnover rates.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4
Rationale 1: The person conducting the orientation should be aware of the policy and relay the information accurately and with certainty.
Rationale 2: Notification of security is essential.
Rationale 3: There could be instances in which a nurse should call 911 from the hospital. In a small hospital with no full-time security, calling 911 may be the immediate response.
Rationale 4: The hospital must have a bomb threat reporting policy. This would be a good time to introduce it to the orientation group.
Rationale 5: There is no reason to report the nurse.
