Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
There are numerous ways to foster motivation in others, including the use of
genuine praise and acknowledging high performance. Negative methods, or punishments, have
been shown to be less effective. These would include emphases on consequences, shame, and
threats.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Any activity that requires knowledge and judgment that is unique to the function of
an RN cannot be delegated to others. Such activities include ongoing assessment, medication
administration, and counseling clients. Answering call lights is within the scope of a UAP and
can thus be delegated.
