Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Parallel structure exists when there are two lines of authority in an organization. Due to new
models of organizational structure, medical staff may have less direct authority and may be
included as staff members and adhere to hospital policy. The staff relationships are then less
complex.

Answer to Question 2
