Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Reporting the accomplishments of the nursing staff is a way to support their importance and power.
Rationale 2: Asking for and doing favors for one another is a form of collaboration.
Rationale 3: The nurse manager should dress in the same manner as others in the meeting.
Rationale 4: Talking more than listening can undermine credibility in the politics of the organization. The nurse should develop a reputation for listening and responding thoughtfully in discussions.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The employee must have worked for the employer for at least 12 months.
Rationale 2: The employee must have worked at least 1,250 hours in the last 12 months.

Rationale 4: The employee must be at a work site with 50 or more employees, or at a site where 50 workers are employed within 75 miles of the work site. A small private clinic with 20 employees does not meet this requirement.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
