Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: A command group accomplishes routine tasks in an organization and is designed to meet a specific mission of the organization. This group is a legitimate organizational entity.
Rationale 2: The purpose of a task group is to deal with specific issues involving a specific need within a given time limit. Because this group is working on Nurses' Week, the project is time limited.
Rationale 3: A competing group's members compete with each other for resources to perform their tasks or compete for recognition.
Rationale 4: An informal group evolves naturally from social interactions and is not defined by an organizational structure.

Allowing the nurse to ask questions freely could violate state and federal regulations
governing the interview. Planning
