Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The clinical care coordination skill this nurse needs to improve on is organization. This nurse needs to keep the patient report sheets in hand to anticipate what equipment and supplies a patient is going to need. Then the nurse may not have to leave the room so often; this will save time. The nurse in this example does not voice concern about decision-making skills, evaluation skills, or communication skills.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Accountability refers to individuals being answerable for their actions. The nurse in this situation is not taking ownership of the inappropriate delegation of a task. Autonomy is freedom of choice and responsibility for the choices. Responsibility refers to the duties and activities that an individual is employed to perform. Authority refers to legitimate power to give commands and make final decisions specific to a given position.
