Answer to Question 1

ANS: C

Feedback
A Incorrect because the chaos did not di-rectly increase certifications for advanced practice nurses nor did it trigger the doc-torate of nursing practice.
B Incorrect because hospitals have always used health-care teams to deliver care and the ancillary health-care workers have been increasing in most institutions over the past two decades.
C Correct because the Nurse Resource Posi-tion and SWAT Team did evolve due to the chaos in health care and increased acuity of patients.
D Incorrect because electronic documenta-tion and Internet use would have evolved with increased technology not due to chaos.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A

Feedback
A Correct because shadowing a leader tends to increase leadership skills.
B Incorrect because a Dale Carnegie course will not necessarily improve one's lea-dership ability.
C Incorrect because volunteering at a camp may or may not increase one's leadership ability.
D Incorrect because becoming an advanced practice nurse may or may not improve leadership ability.
