Answer to Question 1

C
Failure to Rescue describes the clinician's inability to save a patient's life when the patient experiences
complications. Rapid-response teams have been developed to rescue the patient by mobilizing hospital
resources quickly, including bringing nursing and medical practitioners and nurses to the bedside when
a patient's condition deteriorates.

Answer to Question 2

C
The group leader would need to clarify the group members' responses related to removing another
member. A better approach is that when a leader observes group members beginning to display or
encourage certain known groupthink behaviors, the group leader should take them aside (outside the
group) and talk with them about what is occurring and how these behaviors may negatively impact the
group. This is a more sound management strategy than removing these members totally. Allowing
time to gather additional information and to reflect upon what already exists; encouraging independent
(not group) thinking; and encouraging members to verbalize their own opinions, thoughts, and ideas
are ways of preventing groupthink behaviors from occurring.
