Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Situational theories suggest that leaders change their approach depending on the situation. Transactional leaders use reward and punishment to gain the cooperation of followers. Transformational leaders use methods that inspire people to follow their lead. Transformational leaders work toward transforming an organization with the help of others. The authoritarian or autocratic leader exercises strong control over subordinates.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Advance directives consist of three documents: (1) living will, (2) durable power of attorney, and (3) health care proxy, commonly referred to as a durable power of attorney for health care. The Patient's Bill of Rights informs consumers of health care about specific privileges of which they should be aware. Patients should expect (1) excellent care, (2) a safe environment, (3) participation in planning their care, (4) privacy, (5) help with discharge arrangements, and (6) assistance with fulfilling financial responsibilities. The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act was approved to allow people over the age of 18 to donate their bodies or body parts after death for transplantation, deposit in tissue banks, or research.
