Answer to Question 1

D
Teamwork has a number of advantages and can contribute to safe and efficient patient care delivery.
Some advantages to this group process are job satisfaction, interprofessional team communication, and
collaboration.

Answer to Question 2

B
The question of whether a nurse should carry his or her own professional malpractice insurance in addition to that provided by the employer has been a topic of debate. Organizational malpractice liability insurance generally covers the nurse except in certain situations such as: 1) may not cover if the insured intentionally injures another party; 2) may not cover if the insured fails to comply with organizational policies and procedures; and 3) may not be enough especially if the nurse is named individually in addition to the organization, and it might behoove the nurse to consider carrying additional individual malpractice insurance.
