Mr. Orzo has a 22 pack-year of cigarette smoking history and presents today at the Medical Clinic wanting to stop smoking.

Part of the smoking cessation program should include a contract regarding the process of how this behavioral change should occur. It is imperative that this con-tract include:
A. A clause that protects the provider from any legal ramifications of Mr. Orzo's smoking cessation
B. Mutually developed (by the health-care provider and Mr. Orzo) objectives
C. A clause describing Mr. Orzo's nicotine addiction
D. A nonspecific time frame for objectives to be accomplished so no added pressure will be put on Mr. Orzo

Question 2

Everything we read in health care recommends we work in a group and not alone or in a silo.

Working in teams responsible for patient outcome accomplishment is more productive but there is another aspect of the team model that is important for use in these types of work teams and that includes:
A. Having a rotational team membership
B. Being sure the manager selects the mem-bership of a team
C. Being sure team members volunteer to be on a team
D. Having a multidisciplinary membership

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B

Feedback
A Incorrect because the contract is for Mr. Orzo to follow and not the health-care provider.
B Correct because objectives should not be mandated by the health-care provider but developed together so they will be more attainable by Mr. Orzo.
C Incorrect because it is assumed Mr. Orzo has a nicotine addiction and this would not be necessary to state in a contract.
D Incorrect because Mr. Orzo needs a spe-cific time frame so that he will be moti-vated and successful in smoking cessation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D

Feedback
A Incorrect because for some teams, a rota-tional membership would be extremely ineffective for accomplishing team goals.
B Incorrect because all teams are not going to be effective if they are comprised of assigned members.
C Incorrect because teams are not always most effective if the members were all volunteers.
D Correct because in health care, having multidisciplinary representation is most conducive to effectively accomplishing patient outcomes.
