Answer to Question 1

B
The AACN (2004) reminds us that the potential for consequences and likely effects must be
considered when delegating patient care. The five factors above should be contemplated before
delegating care. While supervision also takes into account these important factors, they are not
prerequisites before supervision can take place.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A It is inappropriate to ask the nurse manager for a decision at the time of the interview.
B It is inappropriate to ask the nurse manager to notify you ASAP.
C Assuming you have gotten the job before being notified may be a bad assumption.
D Human Resources makes the offers to new hires. The nurse managers collaborate with them to determine salary, etc. but do not make the offer personally.
