Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
When nursing levels are optimized, there is a positive effect on quality, outcomes, and costs, with fewer adverse events and shorter length of patient stay.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Facility restructuring for economic reasons, budget and staffing cuts, heavy workloads, mandatory overtime, nurse-to-nurse hostility, poor doctor and nurse relations, poorly prepared managers, changing legislation, and negative media stereotyping are some of the factors contributing to the nursing shortage.
