Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Travel is determined as an indirect cost to the budget because there is no direct connection to pa-tient care. The other options have a direct connection to patient care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
An increased use of sick time requires additional nurse hours to staff the unit and so the manager is essentially paying twice for the same hours, which would lead to a negative variance. The other options would not affect the budget negatively.
