Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Online tutorials are available 24/7 and allow immediate application of learning. The correct answer is an online tutorial that can be accessed when it fits the worker's schedule. Listservs via e-mail are too slow for training; videos are not interactive; and workshops should be scheduled for times when the employee is off duty and rested, ready to learn, not just as a shift ends.

Answer to Question 2

2, 4
Rationale:
Family members need to be able to care for themselves during critical care hospitalization of an adult family member, but they prefer to remain close by and not leave the setting. Consequently, hospitals are creating patient rooms that allow families to stay close and either receive meals or prepare them in within hospital kitchenette suites. Family presence and maintaining family relationships are important and benefit both the patient and the family. Families would prefer that health-care decisions not be made for them but rather with them as partners in care planning. Families find decision making during a critical care admission to be very challenging and they need health care providers to give them time to make decisions.
