Answer 1

Solution -

a. To hire independent contractors to market this app we can engage a hiring agency and hire people on contract that can market this app across the country. The aspect here to be included is that the hiring agency should have multiple branches across the country to provide the locals for marketing

b. In the sales contract it must be included that what are the targets and what is the incentive package. The next aspect is the renewal cause which would take care of any confusion on the employment and provide the management to review the performance.

c. The app is a record maintenance and retrieval application. The responsibility of anything wrong or mistake committed by the nurse will be the responsibility of the nurse and the hiring admin. The application owners cannot be held responsible as they are providing a service but the discretion still lies with the hiring admin and the nurses who are required to provide the right information.
