Answer to Question 1

D
Because of the types of patients being accepted for care and the distance of the subacute facility from acute care, emergency response and seamless transfer issues in the event of an unanticipated crisis must be addressed. As a nurse manager, an important part of your position may be assisting to develop strategies to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks in this situation.

Answer to Question 2

C
A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable and whose membership should be consistent (Katzenbach & Smith, 1993; Manion et al., 1996).
