Answer to Question 1

B
Not-for-profit businesses do not have shareholders to share in their successes and profits. All of the
profits are channeled directly back into the business for its maintenance and growth. For-profit
businesses distribute a certain portion or percentage of their profits to their stockholders as
appreciation for their fiscal investment in the company.

Answer to Question 2

C
While the nursing process does include aspects of problem solving and decision making, the process
consists of assessment, diagnosis, outcome identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation,
and it is applied to patient care situations or problems (not all types of problems). Decision making
and problem solving, on the other hand, are processes that can be applied to all types of problems.
