Answer to Question 1

B
Groupthink can be destructive to the functioning of a group or team. Groupthink occurs when the need for maintaining a pleasant atmosphere supercedes the need to reach a good decision (Shortell & Kaluzny, 2006). Janis (1972) identified some characteristics or symptoms which may indicate the potential for groupthink behaviors and attitudes. These symptoms include: 1) the illusion of invulnerability; 2) collective rationalism (not collective irrationalism); 3) self censorship; 4) illusion of unanimity; 5) the use of mindguards; 6) pressures to conform; 7) belief in the inherent morality of the idea; and 8) stereotyping of others.

Answer to Question 2

C
The NCLEX-RN exam test plan covers knowledge in four primary areas: safe, effective care
environment, physiologic integrity, psychosocial integrity (not only psychological), and health
promotion and maintenance.
