Answer to Question 1

1,2,3
Rationale 1: Conversion of unused sick days to vacation days eliminates the feeling that employees are going to lose sick days, which they consider a benefit.
Rationale 2: Converting unused sick time to retirement credit helps to eliminate the feeling that employees are going to lose sick days, which they consider a benefit.
Rationale 3: When there is a limit on how many sick days can be accumulated, the employee may feel that a benefit has been taken away and may take unneeded sick days to prevent losing that benefit.
Rationale 4: Penalties may work to discourage the use of sick time, but will not promote job satisfaction.
Rationale 5: A policy of taking away holiday time based on a sick day being taken is punitive to good employees. It may also encourage an employee to come to work when sick. It is not a good way to promote job satisfaction.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1, 3
Explanation: 1. Key behaviors in delegating tasks are describing the task and providing the delegate with the
benefit gained for the task. Not having enough time is incorrect because delegating should be
done for the right reasons and not to dump tasks for purely personal reasons. Having the
lightest assignment is incorrect because the delegate should be assigned because the task meets
the abilities of the individual. Only stating the charge nurse would like the nurse to go is
incorrect because the delegator should make the delegate aware of the reason for and the
benefit gained from the delegation.
