Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
Some of the nine questions that are useful for nurses when deciding whether to use an individual or group process for decision making are 1) Does the individual have all the information needed? 2) Will the course of action chosen make a difference to the organization? 3) Will the decision promote conflict among the group or individuals? 4) Is it absolutely critical that the individual group accept the decision before its implementation? The questions, How does this decision impact relationships with internal and external stakeholders? and How will the decision influence future choices made by the organization? are a good considerations in certain circumstances, but they are not part of Vroom and Yetton's recommended line of questioning.
