Answer to Question 1

B
Not all teams may reach maturity and be able to function together in an effective manner. Some reasons why this may occur are: 1) ineffective leadership, 2) problematic members (as seen in this scenario with the two NPs), 3) unclear goals and communication, and 4) lack of focus or energy. Open interpersonal relationships is a characteristic of a highly effective team, not one that may never reach maturity.

Answer to Question 2

D
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), also referred to as the Privacy Act, was enacted to ensure the privacy of personal and confidential patient information. These eighteen recognized personal health identifiers are: names, geographic subdivisions smaller than a state, all elements of dates (except for the year), telephone numbers, fax numbers, social security numbers, medical record numbers, health plan beneficiary numbers, account numbers, license and/or certificate numbers, vehicle identification and serial numbers, device identification and serial numbers, Web universal resource locators (URLs), Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, biometric locators (including fingerprints or voiceprints), full-face photographs or images, and any other unique identifying numbers, characteristics, or codes.
