A charge nurse's responsibilities include the day-to-day management and coordination of therapies for the clients, client assignments, and scheduling. This is an example of which level of management?

Question

1. Top-level
2. Middle-level
3. First-level
4. Upper-level

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Upper-level (same as top-level) managers are organizational executives who are primarily responsible for establishing goals and developing strategic plans.
Rationale 2: Middle-level managers supervise a number of first-level managers and are responsible for the activities in the departments they supervise.
Rationale 3: First-level managers are responsible for managing the work of nonmanagerial personnel and the day-to-day activities of a specific work group (rehabilitation unit in this case).
Rationale 4: Upper-level (same as top-level) managers are organizational executives who are primarily responsible for establishing goals and developing strategic plans.
