Answer to Question 1

B
Nurses traditionally have worked in strong hierarchical institutions with centralized decision making and clear authority structures, rigid approval mechanisms, and extensive policies and procedures. This presents another obstacle in that such conditions constrain peer-based, lateral, and collegial dialogue. Nurses may not have depth of experience in attending committee meet-ings, setting agendas, developing consensus, dealing with conflict, and conducting meetings. Another obstacle is that nurses come from various educational backgrounds.

Answer to Question 2

D
Busybodies are not committed to the work of the group and frequently arrive late, leave early, spend time checking e-mail or texting, and simply want to show up for the purpose of appear-ance.
