Answer to Question 1

A
A client with a stable cervical fracture who is in halo traction

Answer to Question 2

C
The purpose of a clinical practice council, under a shared governance model, is to provide the practice standards for that workgroup. An education council assesses the learning needs of the unit staff and designs programs to meet those needs. A quality council credentials staff and oversees quality management initiatives. A management council ensures that the standards of practice and governance are agreed upon and upheld, and that there are adequate resources available to deliver safe patient care.
