Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

Rationale: Members of teams do contribute their talents to assist the team in achieving the goals of the group. A team can be just two people, usually but not always has a leader, and has people from different job levels and work groups.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

Rationale: According to general systems theory, the input, or employees, are imported from the environment. The work, or throughput, is performed to produce a product. The output is then exported to the environment. The student neglected to include throughput, and the remaining choices are correct.
Nursing Process: Evaluation
Client Need: Safe, Effective Care Environment
Cognitive Level: Application
