Answer to Question 1

1, 5
Explanation: 1. If the nurse managers have a time frame in which their response is required, they can do better planning. If there is no time frame, the managers may feel that each message must be answered immediately.
2. Long, complex e-mails can be daunting in a busy environment. This strategy would lend itself to managers missing important information or requests buried in the e-mail with other, less important information.
3. Face-to-face conversations are nice, but take time to arrange and to complete. Electronic communication is faster and generally more efficient. Communication can take place with multiple people at one time and there is record of what is said.
4. This may not be too helpful since the nurse executive would have to call managers individually with information or set up conference calls when all managers are available.
5. E-mail is a quick and convenient method for sending out information and can be used to excess. The nurse executive should be certain that there is valid reason for sending each message.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. This is important, but not the goal.
2. This is the goal for the initiative, which is associated with The Future of Nursing report. There is need to develop a collaborative effort and this requires participation from stakeholders.
3. This is important, but not the goal.
4. This is important, but not the goal.
