Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
It is appropriate for the board of directors and top administrators to set institutional goals and objectives and for the vice president of nursing to set the goals and objectives for nursing. Staff nurses and patient care coordinators help set goals and objectives for the unit.

Answer to Question 2

Objectives are more specific ways to reach the goal. It is recommended that objectives be achievable, specific, measurable, and outcome oriented. Each objective should specify a single result with a target date.
