Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
To build consensus, the nurse manager (or chairperson) listens to all committee members, uses the ideas, and gets people onto the team by involving them in critical thinking, creative thinking, and realistic critiquing of ideas.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Ad hoc committees are generally most useful when appointed for a specific purpose. A committee appointed to collect data, analyze it, and make recommendations is an ad hoc committee.
