Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Effective delegation is the process by which responsibility and authority for performing a task is transferred to another person. It is critical that the task is one that can be delegated.
Rationale 2: Overdelegation occurs when the delegator loses control over a situation by providing the delegate with too much authority or responsibility. Discipline of an employee is a responsibility of the manager that cannot be delegated because of the confidentiality and controversy associated with it.
Rationale 3: Reverse delegation occurs when a person with a lower rank (unit secretary) delegates to someone with authority (nurse manager).
Rationale 4: Underdelegation occurs when full authority and responsibility are not transferred in a situation where delegation would otherwise be appropriate.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4,5
Rationale 1: There is no assurance that employees will respond by returning to work once a disaster has happened.
Rationale 2: It is impossible to know if employees will be personally affected by the disaster. For example, if the employee's home is destroyed by a wildfire, that employee would have pressing family needs.
Rationale 3: This may occur, but is not a key impediment.
Rationale 4: If utilities such a telephone and cell phone towers are destroyed, there may be no way to contact the employee to come back to the hospital.
Rationale 5: There may be physical impediments such as washed out roads, snow-packed roads, or debris-covered roads that prevent employees from returning to the hospital.
Global Rationale:

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
