Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Rightsizing is a comprehensive and systematic process that studies ineffective, costly programs and generates ideas for replacing them with revenue-generating programs. Units that should be investigated include those in which fixed staffing levels have increased by a small percentage of the FTEs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Finding new work for present employees can delay the need for downsizing. One example is attracting work by expanding services or initiating new services, such as geriatric services.
