Answer to Question 1

C
Historically, nurses were reluctant to unionize. However, concern with safety of care and quality of care, especially when tension is present in a work environment, makes unionization more de-sirable. U.S. Supreme Court rulings have provided for RN-only units and protection to practice according to what the profession and licensure status require nurses to do.
