Ans: A
Feedback: Some institutions use the collaborative practice model. Nurses, physicians, and ancillary health personnel function within a decentralized organizational structure, collaboratively making clinical decisions. The collaborative model, or a variation of it, promotes shared participation, responsibility, and accountability in a health care environment that is striving to meet the complex health care needs of the public. The other answers are incorrect because they are not examples of a collaborative practice model.
