Answer to Question 1

D
All but the correct option are concentrated on other disciplines. A nurse's support group would concentrate on the advancement and support of nurses and the discipline of nursing. Both the facilitation of an autonomous nursing practice and the discussion of related reading material with a designated preceptor are indicative of a supportive nursing environment.

C
