Answer to Question 1

D
Hospitals are organized and their work is structured around a guiding philosophy. The philosophy serves as the institutional framework that shapes the direction of knowledge and skill acquisition. It is the pivotal factor in the long-term development of the institution.

Answer to Question 2

D
Conflict involves a level of interdependence and is a condition for conflict but not necessarily for continuance of the conflict. Expression of one's ideas and concerns is considered assertive and effective in resolving conflict if the concerns and needs of the other are also considered. Inter-professional collaboration has been shown to be effective in resolving conflict. Avoidance tends to prolong and sometimes escalate conflict.
