Answer to Question 1

C
The progressive model of discipline advocates that the first step of the disciplinary process is the informal reprimand or verbal admonishment. The nonpunitive discipline model advocates re-minding the employee of the employment policies and procedures of the agency.

Answer to Question 2

C
A representative chief nurse officer such as a nursing director, along with an emergency care physician, creates a dynamic team that is uniquely prepared to tackle any issues that arise because of an all-hazards disaster. Including a senior executive administrator of the health care team provides the leadership needed to communicate the importance of all-hazards preparedness as a system priority.
