Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Maintaining members is an important intervention to facilitate group process. The topics that are taught should be of importance to the group. The group should be part of the decision-making process. The membership of the group should be maintained, inviting new members to the group may hinder the processes of the group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Nurses working with established groups should know that this type of group has membership ties and an existing structure that has proven to be successful. An established group would have a stable group membership. Learning occurs better in all groups with demonstrations instead of lectures. In an established group, they may be together because of a common interest, but may not share all of the same interests.
