Answer to Question 1

C
In Table 3-1, Clark summarizes and compares models of organizational behavior. The collegial model
is based on partnership, teamwork, and employee support that removes obstacles for motivated and
empowered individuals. Both autocratic and custodial models are managed by power, authority,
economics, and money, which have employees dependent on the boss or the organization. Technology
is not a model or organizational behavior discussed.

Answer to Question 2

C
In evidence-based practice, guidelines are standardized tools or specifications of how care should be
delivered, and they are used to guide practice treatment and intervention.
