A director is reviewing last year?s salaries in preparation for the next year?s budget. The director notes increased wages over the past year and discusses the issue with the unit manager. Which would be a cause for increased salaries?
1. A low client acuity for the past year.
2. The increase in the amount of tuition reimbursement.
3. A high turnover rate in nursing staff.
4. The manager?s increase in worked hours for the past 6 months.
3
Explanation: 1. High turnover rate would increase salaries because the unit would be paying additional wages
to orient a new nurse. Low client acuity does not affect salaries to increase. Increase in tuition
reimbursement is not taken from the budgeted account of salaries. The manager?s worked
hours do not apply because most managers are salaried employees.
