Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Norming occurs in the third stage of Homans's group process and is characterized by the definition of the goals and rules of behavior.
Rationale 2: Storming occurs when the group members wrestle with roles and relationships and conflict arises.
Rationale 3: Performing occurs in the fourth stage of Homans's group process; the group members communicate and cooperate.
Rationale 4: Forming occurs in the initial stage of the group process; the members are cautious in approaching each other as they come together as a group.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. Nurses coming from informal referrals are likely to have more realistic information about the
job and the organization; thus, their expectations most closely fit reality. Although the Internet
is easily accessible, not everyone is aware of its capabilities for job opportunities and it can be
costly to maintain. Advertising can be an effective recruiting tool but it is expensive. Job fairs
can be effective provided they are properly advertised.
