Answer 1

Correct answers: b, c, and d.

- b) Pediatrics team + toy research team — toy researchers are outside the healthcare system.
- c) Cardiac team + television talk show team — media team is outside the healthcare system.
- d) Hospice team + family — the family is outside the healthcare system and is a collaborating team for patient-centered care.
