Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Mentoring is a collaborative partnership between a novice nurse and an expert nurse to help transition a nurse through career development, personal growth, and socialization into the profession. Interprofessional collaboration is working with several disciplines. Shared governance is a type of management for nursing. Interorganizational collaboration often includes teams from inside and outside an organization to meet a common goal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
C, A, D, B

The order of the nurse's statements follows the SBAR format. The nurse explains the situation by identifying herself, then gives the immediate background of the patient. She then assesses the patient and gives her recommendation.
