Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 1. Regularly scheduled meetings with those who need to see the nurse manager allow them to
hold routine matters for these appointments. Encouraging the use of voice mail is incorrect
because voice mail does not facilitate face-to-face discussion needed to address routine issues.
Encouraging to the person to call is incorrect because a telephone call may be unstructured and
act as a time waster. Keeping the office door open is incorrect because allowing unlimited
access to the nurse manager encourages drop-in visits, which can be time wasters.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: This is the goal of emergency treatment in a disaster.
Rationale 2: There is no indication to take the time to do this separation.
Rationale 3: In a disaster those with minor injuries are treated first.
Rationale 4: There is no indication that clients would be sent home without treatment.
