1. When matching a job with an experienced RN, what is the first step in the selection process?

A. Job analysis
B. Selection techniques
C. Methods of recruiting
D. Assurance of legal requirements

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, job analysis. Job analysis is the first step in the selection process as it involves gathering information about the duties, responsibilities, necessary skills, outcomes, and work environment of a particular job. This information is crucial in creating an accurate job description and specification that will guide the recruitment and selection process. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because while selection techniques, methods of recruiting, and legal requirements are important aspects of the selection process, they come after the job analysis has been completed.

3. Which of the following is considered voluntary turnover?

A. Desire to leave
B. Termination
C. Forced resignation
D. Floating

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'Desire to leave.' Voluntary turnover occurs when an employee chooses to leave the organization. In this case, it is a direct function of the nurse's desire to leave. Termination and forced resignation are involuntary processes where the decision is made by the employer, not the employee. 'Floating' refers to the reassignment of a nurse to a unit different from their usual work unit and is not directly related to turnover.

4. What is the role of the Joint Commission in healthcare?

A. Advocacy for patients
B. Setting standards for patient care
C. Providing direct patient care
D. Approving healthcare facilities

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Approving healthcare facilities.' The Joint Commission's primary role is to accredit and certify healthcare organizations and programs in the United States. This accreditation ensures that healthcare facilities meet specific quality and safety standards. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the Joint Commission focuses on evaluating and accrediting healthcare facilities rather than advocating for patients, providing direct care, or setting standards for patient care.
