Answer to Question 1

A
Open visiting hours in the CCU convey the importance of family as partners in care delivery. This is a representation of culture within a nursing unit where a relationship-based nursing care model is used, and it represents an underlying belief in patient-centered care.

Answer to Question 2

A
According to the objective perspective, an organization exists as an external reality, independent of its social actors. Organizations are viewed as logical and predictable objects with identifiable and scientifically measurable characteristics (e.g., size) that can be predicted, observed, or ma-nipulated.
