Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In ineffective teams, leadership tends to be autocratic and rigid, and the team's communication style may be overly stiff and formal. Members tend to be uncomfortable with conflict or disagreement, avoiding and suppressing it rather than using it as a catalyst for change. When criticism is offered, it may be destructive, personal, and hurtful rather than constructive and problem-centered. Team members may begin to hide their feelings of resentment or disagreement, sensing that they are dangerous. This creates the potential for later eruptions and discord.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Caregivers must listen to the other person's perspective, listen to the message accurately, identify differences, and creatively seek resolutions.
