Answer to Question 1

D
A collection of individuals who are led by a strong, clearly focused leader and who come togeth-er to share information and ideas and possibly to make decisions is known as a work group. In a work group, there is little or no collective accountability.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nurse-managed and nurse-owned healthcare services are part of a growing number of organiza-tions that extend health care beyond that offered through traditional services. Growth in these organizations and services has been spurred by the implementation of the prospective payment system, which resulted in early discharge of many patients from acute care facilities. These nurse-managed and nurse-owned services focus on the care of individuals and families rather than on community-based outcomes for populations such as older adults, or on community-based issues such as injuries related to drunk driving.
