Answer to Question 1

B
Rationale: One registered nurse leads a team of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, res-piratory therapist, housekeepers, dieticians, and nursing technicians in a patient-focused care team. This care model centers systems and services closer to the patient. Team members may be multiskilled but do not have to have dual degrees.

Answer to Question 2

B
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (1995) defines delegation as transferring the authority to perform a selected nursing task in a selected situation to a competent individual.
