Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

While interdisciplinary decisions are made and collaboration takes place, the basic belief is that the responsibility for health falls on the client rather than on the healthcare professional. Healthcare providers can offer ideas about what will meet a client's health needs; but in holistic, collaborative care, these are not necessarily the best ideas.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Fear of punishment is the motivation behind the development of the Just Culture model. This model suggests three distinct types of behaviors related to error occurrence. Human error is the first type of behavior and is identified as inadvertently doing something other than what should have been done. This represents a slip, lapse, or mistake. Second is at-risk behavior, which is characterized by a behavioral choice that increases risk where it is not recognized or is mistakenly believed to be justified. The third is reckless behavior, a conscious behavioral choice to disregard substantial and unjustified risk. The nurse accidentally providing the wrong medication is an example of human error.
