Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Collaboration of health care team members is required to help meet the complex needs of clients in health care settings. Such collaborative interaction may strengthen individual members' knowledge and communication skills. Nursing shared governance is a process directed towards the standard of nursing care among a particular groups of professional nurses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Authority refers to legitimate power to give commands and make final decisions specific to a given position. Canceling a client's ambulation is the best example because it shows critical thinking in determining the appropriateness of an intervention. The remaining options are better examples of nursing responsibility.
