Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

Rationale: It is true that when nurses have participated in a strike, they might suffer retaliation. They might lose their seniority and lose their place on the clinical ladder. They might be given more difficult client assignments than their peers, with an increased number of high-acuity clients assigned to them. The nurse can lose his job, and this is a real concern for those people who participate in a strike.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

Rationale: Magnet facilities create positive environments for staff members and clients. Staff members have lower rates of burnout, have fewer injuries, are better educated, and feel comfortable with staffing ratios. Clients are more satisfied, have reduced risk of illnesses and death, and are safer. Magnet facilities promote safety for their nurses and clients. They adopt products that are safer for nurses to use. The magnet facilities promote higher education for nurses. Also, they want unit nurses to understand the nosocomial infection rates that the nurses can impact with prevention-oriented behavior.
