Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: There is no reduction of the hospital's liability for errors.
Rationale 2: Residency programs for nurses are not being established to mimic physician education.
Rationale 3: The IOM has made this proposal.
Rationale 4: There is no assurance that nurses who participate in residency programs will engage in lifelong learning.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. Dialectical inquiry minimizes groupthink by allowing disagreement and reducing the
emotional aspects associated with the conflict. Premature concurrence thinking promotes
self-censorship of ideas and exerts pressure to conform. Gatekeeping protects the group from
controversial information and discourages dissent by diverting doubts about the groups
decision. Mind guards use gatekeeping to protect the group from controversial information
and discourage dissent by diverting doubts about the groups decision.
