Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Situational theories suggest that leaders change their approach depending on the situation. Transactional leaders use reward and punishment to gain the cooperation of followers. Transformational leaders use methods that inspire people to follow their lead. Transformational leaders work toward transforming an organization with the help of others. The authoritarian or autocratic leader exercises strong control over subordinates.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Advance directives consist of three documents: (1) living will, (2) durable power of attorney, and (3) health care proxy, commonly referred to as a durable power of attorney for health care. The Patient's Bill of Rights informs consumers of health care about specific privileges of which they should be aware. Patients should expect (1) excellent care, (2) a safe environment, (3) participation in planning their care, (4) privacy, (5) help with discharge arrangements, and (6) assistance with fulfilling financial responsibilities. The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act was approved to allow people over the age of 18 to donate their bodies or body parts after death for transplantation, deposit in tissue banks, or research.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
