Answer to Question 1

a

a. Correct: Groupthink results when a group does not bring up and evaluate divergent opinions because they want to remain cohesive. When group members decide they will not bring up their contrary views about a decision, the group proceeds without critically evaluating divergent opinions. The group is harmonious, but their work may be faulty.
b. Incorrect: Groupthink, not group work, is an outcome of avoiding conflict.
c. Incorrect: Team building is not a result of avoiding conflict.
d. Incorrect: Sabotage is not an outcome of avoiding conflict.

Answer to Question 2

C
The assessment is decreased peristalsis, abdominal discomfort, and narcotic analgesic use, which
details the patient's condition for the physician. Mr. Jones hasn't had a bowel movement in 2 days,
which is unusual for him, is background information. Can we start him on Colace? is the
recommendation. I'm calling about Mr. Jones in 312 is giving the physician the identity of the
patient you are calling about and setting the situation.
