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).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
