Answer to Question 1

A
Having adequate support (political environment) and buy-in from administration is vital to the success
or failure of team activities. Administrative and political support can provide financial support staff,
time allotted, and empowerment and may allow for creativity and self-governance. Having a diverse
group of people with various status levels and the timeliness of setting the group's goals can be
beneficial to teams; they are not a requirement for success.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E, F
Torts are intentional or unintentional civil wrongs that arise out of a contact or statute where one party causes injury to another. Examples of torts that can be seen in health care (of which nurses need to be aware) include: 1) negligence; 2) false imprisonment (not all imprisonment); 3) battery; 4) malpractice; and 5) defamation.
