Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Differentiated nursing practice models are models of clinical nursing practice that are defined or differentiated by level of education, expected clinical skills or competencies, job descriptions, pay scales, and participation in decision making.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Although all of the answers reflect knowledge that is critical to budgeting for nurse managers, an experienced nurse manager would likely be already familiar with general knowledge related to budgeting. The nurse manager, however, would need to become familiar with budget timetables and level of involvement expected in this specific organization because these elements of budgeting vary from work environment to work environment.
