Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The diaphragm (a muscle directly beneath the lungs) separates the ventral cavity into the thoracic (chest) and abdominal cavities.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The medical director is a mediator between the interdisciplinary team and the attending physician. The interdisciplinary team designs the plan of care. The primary team, along with the interdisciplinary team, evaluates the appropriateness of care. The medical director does not take the place of the attending physician, but instead acts as a consultant for the attending physician.
