Answer to Question 1

D
Followers are defined as individuals who take on another as a role model and who act in accordance with, imitate, support, and advocate the ideas and opinions of another. Followership is also the willingness to work with others toward accomplishing the group mission. This term refers to those that have a high degree of teamwork and build cohesion among the group.

Answer to Question 2

B
The oral airway should not be removed until the patient is more awake, and elevating the head of the bed is not appropriate until the patient is more responsive. The most important priority is to position the patient with the head turned to the side to prevent aspiration of secretions or emesis if the patient should vomit. Vital signs and dressing checks are important but not the highest priority. Postsurgical prescriptions are written when the patient is in postanesthesia care and come to the floor with the patient.
