Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. When effective delegation takes place in an organization, everyone benefits. Personal skills and
confidence increase, there is increased time for other tasks and management responsibilities,
and higher job satisfaction. All of these lead to higher client satisfaction, which is the ultimate
goal of nursing care and nursing management.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 4: A cost-of-living raise would have been figured into the budget.
