Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Participatory management is the foundation of shared governance. The nurse executive retains the decision-making authority and may or may not agree with committee recommendations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The decision-making process in European-style management varies from one country to another, but in every case it is the board that makes policy decisions.
