Answer to Question 1

B
There are different types of degrees in nursing such as the ADN. The instructor would need to clarify
that the question should focus on whether nurses are paid more if they have a BSN. The other
questions posed by the students would be appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E, F
Four students planning the holiday party, students meeting each day for lunch in the school cafeteria,
students studying for a nursing quiz, and a group of students who filed a petition regarding an unfair
policy would all be considered informal groups. Informal groups are not directly established or
sanctioned by an organization, but they are formed naturally by individuals to fulfill personal or social
interests or needs.
