Answer to Question 1

C
The spectrum of care services provided are typically described as primary care (first-access care), secondary care (disease-restorative care), and tertiary care (rehabilitative or long-term care). Ambulatory care centers are an example of primary care.

Answer to Question 2

B, D, E
In times of extreme crisis, internal communication to employees takes precedence. It is important for leaders to be on the scene to lead, make decisions, and show compassion. Leaders choose communication channels carefully, because normal flows are often disrupted. Managers stay fo-cused on the business at hand and have a contingency and disaster plan in place.
