Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 1. Volunteers usually do this work.
2. It is better to have most professionals working in their local areas where they are familiar with the location, needs, and people.
3. Teams should be interprofessional
4. Healthcare professionals are concerned about potential legal and ethical issues, and this holds them back from volunteering.

Answer to Question 2
