Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A
Many employees increase their absenteeism just before submitting their resignation. If the healthcare worker is experiencing some form of role stress, it might be manifested through ab-senteeism. Role strain may be reflected by (1) withdrawal from interaction; (2) reduced in-volvement with colleagues and the organization; (3) decreased commitment to the mission and the team; and (4) job dissatisfaction. Testing of workplace guidelines and defensiveness are as-sociated with immaturity.
