Answer to Question 1

A
The challenge in teams is not to eliminate disagreement or conflict but to recognize when a breakdown in communication occurs. Singleness of mission, willingness to cooperate, and com-mitment are all key concepts in a well-functioning team.

Answer to Question 2

B
The case manager has a need to know to coordinate continuous care; b is the correct answer. Information that was shared in confidence is not necessary unless it has some bearing on the pa-tient's care needs. On admission to the hospital, the patient signed a permission to treat form, which allows all persons providing care to have information needed to provide the care.
