Answer to Question 1

D
Traditionally, nurses have worked in strong, hierarchical institutions with centralized deci-sion-making and clear authority structures, rigid approval mechanisms, and extensive policies and procedures. This presents an obstacle in that such conditions constrain peer-based, lateral, and collegial dialogue. As a result, nurses may not have depth of experience in attending and conducting committee meetings, setting agendas, developing consensus, and dealing with con-flict. Additional barriers to shared governance include inadequate time for education and buy-in by the nursing staff, staff apathy, role confusion, insufficient incentives, and a lack of support and recognition.

Answer to Question 2

B
A person can have an impressive title, but title or designation does not make the person a leader. A leader must have the ability to inspire others to follow.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
