In an attempt to decrease tardiness, a hospital gives employees an extra hours pay each wage period that the employee has not been late for work. This incentive program is an example of:
 
  1. Expectancy theory.
  2. Reinforcement theory.
  3. Equity theory.
  4. Goal-setting theory.

Question 2

A nurse and a physician are in conflict over the treatment of a client.
 
  Which statements by the nurse reflect the best way to handle interprofessional conflict? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. I think it would be better for the client to stay another day.
  2. This client needs an additional day to learn how to care for a complex wound.
  3. It will help this client manage her diabetes more effectively if she is assigned a diabetic educator.
  4. Research has shown that early ambulation helps to reduce the likelihood of pulmonary embolism.
  5. Do you not remember what happened when you sent that other client home too early?

Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Expectancy theory emphasizes the role of rewards to the employee in order to increase a
desired behavior. Reinforcement theory views behavior modification related to a learned
consequence. Equity theory is concerned with the conditions under which employees perceive
their contribution to the job and the rewards obtained as fair and equitable. Goal-setting
theory relates setting specific goals to higher job performance.

Answer to Question 2

2,3,4
Rationale 1: I statements of what the nurse wants are not the best way to discuss options in an interprofessional disagreement.
Rationale 2: Speaking from the vantage point of the client helps to support the nurse's position in this conflict.
Rationale 3: Explaining what will best help the client helps to support the nurse's position in this conflict.
Rationale 4: Using facts to support the nurse's point in the conflict is an important strategy.
Rationale 5: This statement is confrontational and is unlikely to support the nurse's position in this conflict.
