Answer to Question 1

B
Past experiences, values, and preconceived ideas are some obstacles or potential barriers to effective
decision making. Morals, while an important factor in certain decisions and circumstances, are not
necessarily barriers to this process unless they contain unhealthy or biased beliefs.

Answer to Question 2

A
The unit with 10 patients, all ranked acuity level 5 would require the most nurses. Because acuity level
5 patients would require a 1:1 or 1:2 nurse-to-patient ratio, this unit would need from 5 to 10 nurses.
An example of this type of unit might be one of the Intensive Care Units.
