Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

D
Rituals and traditions such as the Nightingale Pledge have emphasized the need for the good nurse to be obedient to authority. This prevailing attitude has made it difficult for nurses, who typically spend considerable time in the workplace and who have opportunity through their work in teams to develop cohesiveness and unity, to develop awareness and use of power.
