Answer to Question 1
4
Rationale 1: While unlicensed assistive personnel would be needed for some nursing care, these surgeries are high acuity. UAPs are not the most critical employee for their care.
Rationale 2: LPNs could be helpful in caring for these clients, but since these are high acuity surgeries, this employee classification is not the most helpful.
Rationale 3: Non-nursing support personnel are important to client care, but adding this classification of employee is not the most helpful choice.
Rationale 4: Since these are high-acuity clients, critical thinking and clinical judgment will be important. The employees best prepared to care for these clients are RNs.
Global Rationale:
Answer to Question 2

Explanation: 1. In most cases, the normative-reeducative approach to change will be effective in reducing
resistance and stimulating personal and organizational creativity. Power-coercive strategies
are used when much resistance is anticipated, time is short, and the change is critical for
organizational survival. The empirical-rational model is a change agent strategy based on the
assumption that people are rational and follow self-interest if that self-interest is made clear.
A driving force is a behavior that facilitates change by pushing participants in the desired
direction in spite of restraining forces.
