a. To develop long-range career goals
b. To coordinate patient care while meeting the agency goals

B
The role of the nurse as manager has evolved into a complex one that includes organizing patient care, directing personnel to achieve agency goals, and allocating resources. The most consistent concern of the nurse as manager is not to develop long-range career goals, maintain harmony within the agency, or organize subordinates to meet agency goals. Although having long-range career goals is a good idea for the nurse manager, it is not a day-to-day concern. Organizing sub-ordinates in not a role of the nurse manager, but instead it is directing or supervising them to achieve patient care needs.
