Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The individual with the problem is Jenny. She must take responsibility for it (own it) and resolve it. The other options suggest that team members should solve problems for peers, which is an incorrect idea.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The RN is required to initiate teaching. The LPN/LVN can follow up, review, and reinforce.
