Answer to Question 1

B
Two primary criteria make for effective decisions. First, the decision must be of a high quality; that is, it achieves the predefined goals, objectives, and outcomes. Second, those who are respon-sible for its implementation must accept the decision. Higher-quality decisions are more likely to result if groups are involved in the decision-making and problem-solving process. Taking own-ership of the process and outcome provides a smoother transition in changes.

Answer to Question 2

C
A patient safety practice is a type of process or structure whose application reduces the proba-bility of adverse events resulting from exposure to the health care system across a range of con-ditions or procedures (Shojania et al., 2001, p. 29).
