Answer to Question 1

B
Effective management demands that the organization take an active role in helping employees with special needs. Humanistic strategies that counsel and assist employees are cost-effective and necessary.

Answer to Question 2

D
TJC's emergency management accreditation standards call for hospitals to sustain disaster opera-tions for at least 96 hours should an external disaster occur that impacts the local area or region (TJC, 2012). Lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina illustrate just how long it can take before assistance is available.
