Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Client care is always the most important reason why nurses do what they do. If the change is
not for improved client care in some respect, is it worth the effort? Resistance from the late
majority is incorrect because the late majority will eventually accept the change. Keeping the
change from occurring at all is incorrect because it is the managers responsibility to ensure the
resistance does not completely stall the change process. Taking power is incorrect as the nurse
manager must not allow resisters to have the power.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Resistance to change usually indicates the change is significant enough that those affected by it
realize its significance. If handled well, the resistance can be an important impetus to the
change process.
