Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. These participants have a common goal and will work together to achieve the goal.
2. These participants are working toward a common goal.
3. These participants are working toward a common goal.
4. These participants have separate interests, with no commitment to a common goal and will not necessarily work together.
5. These participants likely have a common goal of improving their individual practice with traumatic brain injury patients, but there is no indication that they will work together to achieve the goal.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 1. This action would enable the manager to make a decision and not just evaluate the financial status of the environment.
2. If the manager is indeed focusing only on the bottom line, the manager is not promoting a caring environment on the unit.
3. The organization may set great value on the bottom line, but also must be concerned about quality of care. Problems with quality of care can impact the bottom line. If the manager believes the financial status of the organization is the only organization value, a misunderstanding has probably occurred.
4. This manager has primary focus on the financial issues associated with provision of care. This will make the manager ineffective in the role.
