Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Effective use of time means doing the right things, whereas efficient use of time means doing things right. The nurse is showing efficiency by combining various nursing activitiesin other words, doing more than one thing at a time. Organization is a general term that may include effi-ciency, while leadership is the ability to manage people and resources.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
A case manager follows up with the client after discharge home. Case managers do not always provide direct care, but instead they work with and supervise the care delivered by other staff members. Case managers actively coordinate client discharge planning by identifying health care needs, determining the availability of services and resources, and assisting the client in choosing cost-efficient health care options. The client dealing with end-stage renal failure would most benefit from this model of care because the client's case is the most complex and will require ex-tension discharge support.
