Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E
The total fixed costs in a unit are those costs that do not change as the volume of patients changes. In other words, with either a high or a low patient census, expenses related to rent, utilities, loan payments, administrative salaries, and salaries of the minimum number of staff to keep a unit open must be paid. Variable costs are costs that vary in direct proportion to patient volume or acuity. Examples include nursing personnel, supplies, and medications.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
Although involvement in budget processes will vary from institution to institution, these are typical responsibilities for nurse managers during the budget process.
