Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

B
Accountability refers to the achievement of desired outcomes. If community agencies are notic-ing that limited or no change in patient behavior has occurred despite teaching on the unit, then the staff has not achieved accountability, and he is not holding his unit responsible for the out-comes. Martin is also demonstrating lack of accountability.
