Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

B
In 2005, WHO declared the need for the health care workforce to organize care around the pa-tient and collaborate across disciplines, rather than remain in their individual scopes of practice. All professions, including nurses, need to shift from a service-oriented delivery to a patient- and family-centered collaborative approach. Nurses are an essential part of this team-based care, as they provide a unique clinical perspective to policy development and strategic planning.
