Answer to Question 1

C
A worksite analysis conducted by a threat assessment team or similar taskforce or coordinator is among the recommendations of OSHA and TQM approaches. Such an effort analyzes records, trends, workplace security, physical characteristics, operating policies, and screening surveys of staff to provide an overview of the work environment.

Answer to Question 2

C
This model is especially useful in the care of complex patients who need active symptom man-agement provided by an RN, such as the care of the patient in a hospice setting or an intensive care unit. This method would be justifiable delivery in the pediatric intensive care unit, where the status of patients can change rapidly and where complex functions of care involve both patients and families.
