Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Delegation is not the nursing manager's biggest challenge.
B Communication with staff is one of the nursing manager's greatest challenges, especially in a large work group in which change is constant.
C Time management is not the nursing manager's greatest challenge.
D Clinical decision making is not the nursing manager's greatest challenge.

Answer to Question 2

A
Nurses should determine the family social hierarchy as soon as possible to prevent offending patients and their families. Working with established family hierarchy prevents delays and achieves better patient outcomes. Encouraging the patient to sign against her social beliefs can cause familial strife. Explaining the level of jeopardy may create undue stress. Nurses should be able to determine the correct hierarchy and should not involve the physician at this time.
