Answer to Question 1

C
The democratic leader bases decisions on consensus, or mutual agreement, within the group. This leader delegates duties according to the strengths within the team, with each team member solicited for input.

Answer to Question 2

T
The standard of care dictates that patient teaching include information regarding both the disord-er and the treatment plan. The legal and ethical consequences of not providing and/or document-ing that learning has occurred may place the RN in a position of being accused of inability to provide safe patient care.
