Answer to Question 1

D
Some of the eight questions that are useful for nurses when deciding whether to use an individual or
group process for decision making are Does the individual nurse have all the information needed?,
Is it absolutely critical that the individual group accept the decision before its implementation?, and
Does the course of action chosen make a difference to the organization? How the decision impacts
relationships with both internal and external stakeholders is a good consideration in certain instances,
but it is not part of Vroom and Yetton's recommended questioning.

Answer to Question 2

C
When it comes to health care choices, Americans tend to value certain quality-of-life enhancers such
as prompt access to diagnostic and treatment services, ready availability of state-of-the-art and
cutting-edge technology, and participation in health care decisions, to name a few. While some people
believe that merely living in the United States entitles them to such services and choices, this is not
necessarily the legal reality or most rational behavior.
