Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Evaluating the amount of change would occur before the final stage.
Rationale 2: According to Lippitt's phases of change, the final stage is terminating the helping relationship.
Rationale 3: Maintaining the change is the next to last of Lippitt's stages.
Rationale 4: Looking for persons who may be sabotaging change efforts is not the last of Lippitt's stages.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1, 4
Explanation: 1. It is illegal to change nursing notes. The nurse can amend nursing notes by adding an
additional note and making a line through the incorrect note, but cannot change notes. Falsely
reporting a colleague is also an exception. The remaining answers are not exceptions because
they are correct actions.
