Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Providing information is a prerequisite to change implementation, but is inadequate unless
lack of information is the only obstacle to effecting change. Providing information is incorrect
because although providing information is a prerequisite to change, it does not address the
motivation to change. Educating people opposed to change is incorrect because some people
are vested in their opinions and may remain resistant to change regardless of how well
informed they are. Terminating people is incorrect because people who refuse to consider
change may be transferred to another department within the organization. Others may
gradually open themselves to the idea of change once the plan has been implemented.

Answer to Question 2

2,3
Rationale 1: Making the environment better for nurses may not be the most cost-effective strategy.

Rationale 3: An environment that is better for nurses is associated with greater nurse satisfaction.
Rationale 4: There is no evidence that improving the environment for nursing improves the environment for other disciplines.
Rationale 5: There is little that can be done in a hospital environment that does not entail at least some cost.
