Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Most organizational charts call for the LPN/LVN charge nurse to report to the RN manager of the unit. The other options are not logical.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
Charging patients for all supplies used, documenting care accurately, using time management principles, using supplies efficiently, and preventing complications all result in cost containment. Advising insured patients to select higher tiers whenever possible would not conserve health care dollars, because higher tier care and medications are more costly than those offered in lower tiers.
