Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The average daily census of the hospital probably will not have a direct bearing on the staffing mix of this unit.
Rationale 2: The staffing mix should be based on the needs of the clients currently on the unit. A higher need for assessment, education, or discharge planning requires more registered nurses.
Rationale 3: The number of staff on vacation is not an issue, as the clients still need care.
Rationale 4: The financial productivity of the unit should not be an issue as that is historical data, not current client care need data.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4
Explanation: 1. It is possible for a nurse to lead or follow in all these situations.
