Answer to #1

Answer: FALSE

Answer to #2

Answer: Succession planning is the process of ensuring that qualified persons are available to assume key managerial positions once the positions are vacant because of untimely deaths, resignations, terminations, or retirements. The goal is to help ensure a smooth transition and operational efficiency. In recent years, succession planning is going much deeper into the workforce. In the past, succession planning focused on the top level of the company but not the levels where all the work was performed. Firms are moving away from traditional succession planning and expanding succession planning programs into middle management.

Answer to #8

Answer: Demand for healthcare services will increase because of the aging population, since older people typically have more medical problems than younger people. Nurses also will be needed to educate and to care for patients with various chronic conditions, such as arthritis, dementia, diabetes, and obesity. In addition, the number of individuals who have access to healthcare services will increase, as a result of federal health insurance reform. More nurses will be needed to care for these patients. The financial pressure on hospitals to discharge patients as soon as possible may result in more people admitted to long-term care facilities, outpatient care centers, and greater need for home healthcare. Job growth is expected in facilities that provide long-term rehabilitation for stroke and head injury patients, as well as facilities that treat people with Alzheimer's disease. In addition, because many older people prefer to be treated at home or in residential care facilities, registered nurses will be in demand in those settings. Growth is also expected to be faster than average in outpatient care centers where patients do not stay overnight, such as those that provide same-day chemotherapy, rehabilitation, and surgery. In addition, an increased number of procedures, as well as more sophisticated procedures previously done only in hospitals, are performed in ambulatory care settings and physicians' offices.
