Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Outputs are often measured through the patient classification system. Average daily census, number of patient-days per month, number of patients treated, and number of procedures performed are productivity measures.

Answer to Question 2

Magnet institutions have a flat, decentralized structure in which unit-based decisions prevail and the nursing leader serves at the executive level in the organization and reports to the chief executive officer.
