A male nurse has been assigned to mentor a newly hired female nurse. Several times during the day, the new nurse perceives her mentor as touching her inappropriately.
 
  In the afternoon the mentor tells the new nurse, I think we should meet after work for a drink. I could give you the lowdown on other staff, and we could get our relationship off to a good start. With my help, you'll be able to get raises and promotions regularly. The new nurse thinks, I don't want this man's help. The new nurse can correctly determine that these behaviors suggest
 
  a. assault.
  b. assertiveness.
  c. manipulation.
  d. sexual harassment.

  a. take a deep breath and walk rapidly toward the parking lot.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Sexual harassment is about abuse of power. In this situation, the mentor has used unwanted touch and suggested that having a relationship with him would be a condition of advancement. Assault has not occurred. Assertive behavior is not demonstrated in the scenario. The scenario is more specific to sexual harassment than manipulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Calling for a security guard to escort her to her car is the safest option given.
