Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3

To delegate effectively, the nurse must be aware of the needs and goals of the client and family, the nursing activities that can help the client meet the goals, and the skills and remembering of various nursing and support personnel. There is no indication of need to consider the worker's gender or how long the worker has been at the facility.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 5, 4

Planning can help the nurse-manager (1) identify future opportunities, (2) develop strategies and courses of action, and (3) anticipate and avoid future problems. Situations that result in problems are sometimes the result of poor planning, and quick fixes of those problems may cause future situations.
