Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The referral process is a systematic problem-solving approach that helps clients to use resources that meet their healthcare needs. The process involves knowledge of community resources and an ability to solve problems, set priorities, coordinate, and collaborate. The family's wishes for post-hospital care should be respected if other possibilities exist, which, in this case, they do. The nurse would not be responsible for a fundraiser. Contacting local nurses would not be an efficient way to coordinate care for the client.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Group dynamics, or group processes, are related to how the group functions, communicates, sets goals, and achieves objectives. Cohesiveness, group dynamics, commitment, member behavior, and power are aspects of group dynamics.
