Answer to Question 1

D
To champion a process means to defend or support something. Informal, highly respected leaders are the best persons to choose as champions. They will help sell the new idea to others in that particular discipline. They may be involved in education, leadership, and ongoing marketing of the idea.

Answer to Question 2

B
Involving individuals at all levels of the organization will ensure a variety of perspectives and more buy in to the final product. Including the patient's perspective may provide additional insight about the issue. Ideally, those involved in all levels of patient care, such as the vice-president of nursing, nurse manager, oncology clinical nurse specialist, licensed practical nurses, and nurse's aides, as well as patients of the registered nurse, may need to be included to gain additional perspective.
