Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: If staff members have a caring relationship and feel ownership of the hospital, they are more likely to respond in an emergency.
Rationale 2: Salary may not be a big enough incentive for those who are reluctant to leave family during a disaster.
Rationale 3: Time off in the future is not likely to be enough incentive to attract staff into a disaster situation.
Rationale 4: The opportunity to advance skills is not likely to attract many staff members back to work in a disaster.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Since assuming a client assignment is included in the charge nurse's job description, this is assignment, not delegation.
Rationale 2: Disciplining a nurse on the unit is the responsibility of the manager. Discipline should not be delegated.
Rationale 3: Delegation is the mutual transfer of responsibility and authority that occurs on the basis of competence and trust. The nurse manager can delegate both the responsibility of leading this task force and the authority to make decisions regarding this role. Both must be delegated for the delegation to be successful.
Rationale 4: The process of evaluation is the responsibility of the manager, and this authority cannot be transferred to a delegate.
Global Rationale:
