Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Tasks should be delegated to those who are capable, not necessarily to those who are willing.
B When delegating, the nurse manager should always provide unambiguous and clear directions by describing the task, the desired outcome, and the period within which the task should be completed.
C A laissez-faire style of leadership is not a requirement for delegation.
D The nurse manager does not necessarily have to work alongside staff to evaluate their care; the nurse manager can often evaluate staff performance through patient outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

B
Contaminated dressings and other infectious items should be placed in impervious plastic or brown paper bags and then disposed of properly in garbage containers. Gloves should be worn during this process. Parts of the dressing should not be saved, even though they may seem clean, because microbes may be present.
