Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4

Rationale: Classical theory provides a formal chain of command and system for communication. Inviting the director to a meeting, circulating a petition, and organizing a unit meeting do not take into consideration the chain of command inherent in classical theory.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

Rationale: The nurse needs to assess to understand where the confusion is coming from. The nurse should not sign the document witnessing the signature until any confusion is eliminated by the care provider. The care provider should only be asked to return when the nurse assesses the nature of the confusion. It is not the nurse's responsibility to re-explain the procedure and answer questions.
