Answer to Question 1

D
Teamwork issues require resolution at the collegial level to be resolved. If issues are left unresolved, workplace tension and anger continue to escalate.

Answer to Question 2

A
The most appropriate statement is the one that attempts to use therapeutic communication to determine whether the patient is depressed. The correct option is the only one that attempts to elicit more information about the patient's feelings. This would be the most effective means of assessing the patient's emotional status.
