D
The telephone remains the primary tool for communicating urgent information; however, some
practitioners may be comfortable receiving urgent patient information, such as an elevated potassium
level, electronically.

Answer to Question 2

B
Collective action is when individuals act together as a group with a single voice, and it is one method
for dealing with workplace problems. Collective bargaining is the practice of employees acting as a
collective group and bargaining with management regarding wages, work practices, and other benefits.

work setting, and it is another form of collective action.
