Answer to Question 1

A
Good Samaritan Laws are laws that exist to provide protection for health care professionals who provide care in emergency situations where they are not being paid for their services or assigned as emergency workers. For example, an off-duty nurse who stops at the scene of a rollover accident on the highway to render service on her way from work is covered under the Good Samaritan Laws. Conversely, the EMT who arrives at the scene of the same rollover accident who provides care, but is working his shift, is not covered by Good Samaritan Laws. Other characteristics of Good Samaritan Laws are that the care provided did not recklessly or intentionally cause harm or injury, and that the health care worker is not paid for his or her services.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse manager is demonstrating reward power. The compliment and indication of a promotion are
both types of rewards that nurses may receive.
