Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Violence in hospitals is caused by a combination of internal and external factors. Internal factors include inadequate staffing levels; larger numbers of dangerous patients; poor security for drugs and money; staff members working alone; poorly lit facilities; and unsecured, continuous access to health care facilities (OSHA, 2004).

Answer to Question 2

B
Group decision making can be derailed at a number of points in the process. The main disadvan-tages commonly noted about group decision making are the potential for premature decisions, individual domination, and disruptive conflicts (Veninga, 1982).
