Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 1. This idea is focused on an individual profession, not on collaboration among disciplines.
2. It would be better to be very public and upfront about the initiative.
3. This idea focuses on the individual department, not on collaboration.
4. This is the best idea offered. Collaboration requires acceptance that one's own profession does not have all the answers or skills and that it takes many different professions to provide patient-centered care.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. In a living will, there is no person appointed to make decisions. The living will is a statement of the patient's wishes in writing.
2. The son is a competent person who has been designated to make healthcare decisions for his parent. This is a durable power of attorney.
3. This act requires that all healthcare providers ask patients about living wills and durable powers of attorney. There is no indication that there is any violation.
4. There is no indication that this is true.
