Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
In a just culture, organizational, individual, and interpersonal learning are balanced with personal accountability and discipline. In a fair and just culture, expectations for system and individual learning and accountability are transparent. The organization freely discusses mistakes with the intention of learning from them.

Answer to Question 2

C, D, E
Responsibility is the allocation and acceptance of a task. Responsibility is the obligation to take on and accomplish work and to secure the desired results. In accepting the obligation of an as-signed task, the staff person is accepting responsibility to accomplish the task. Accountability is the liability for task performance and is determined in a retrospective analysis of what occurred. The assignment of responsibility and the granting of authority create accountability. Accounta-bility flows upward or outward: from staff to manager or from provider to client.
