Answer to Question 1

2,3,4,5
Rationale 1: Each discipline determines its own interventions. The disciplines collaborate to design care.
Rationale 2: Collaboration with other disciplines is a critical component of case management.
Rationale 3: A main emphasis of case management is building consensus with physicians caring for the clients.
Rationale 4: The nurse is responsible for defining expected nursing outcomes. The other disciplines involved will set expected outcomes for their work.
Rationale 5: Essential baseline data, such as length of stay, cost of care, and complication information, are collected and analyzed by the nurse and other members of the team.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 1. According to Lippitts Phases of Change, the final stage is terminating the helping relationship.
Developing the action and evaluation plan is incorrect because an action and evaluation plan
are developed with the assistance of the change agent. Determining the role of the change
agent is incorrect because the role of the change agent must be determined early in the process
of change. Communicating often is incorrect because communication is vital throughout the
whole process of change.
