Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
All reasoning is an attempt to prevent or solve a problem, figure something out, or answer a question.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Problem solving is a skill that can be learned, and because staff nurses can learn by observing their leaders, good decision making by the leader may do more than solve immediate problems. More important for the long term, it can foster good decision making by staff nurses.
