Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, C

Interdisciplinary teams include professionals of varied backgrounds who share decision making. The terms interprofessional team and interdisciplinary team are synonymous. Intradisciplinary teams include members of the same profession. Multidisciplinary teams include members of varied backgrounds, but treatment decisions are made by one team member-usually the primary healthcare provider. A primary nursing care team includes a primary nurse and associate nurses who will provide care to a client during a hospital stay. Management teams are executive-level teams that run the day-to-day operations of a corporation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C, F, D, B, A, E

High-priority nursing diagnoses should be addressed first. This means that Alteration in Perfusion would be the first priority. Medium-priority diagnoses should be addressed next, in order of the impact on physiological processes. Diarrhea would be a priority over Self-Care Deficit; however, Self-Care Deficit would be a priority over Anxiety. Low-priority diagnoses would be addressed last, again in order of physiological impact. Fatigue would be a priority over Deficient Knowledge.
