Answer to Question 1

B, C, D, E
Staff nurses are under constant pressure to do more with less, and this can cause professional and personal stress for staff as well as managers. Support staff have been cut, jobs are fewer, and staffing levels fluctuate. Nurses may have a difficult time dealing with stress, because they often put others' needs ahead of their own and need to be able to create healthy boundaries.

Answer to Question 2

A
The purposes of the ADA are to eliminate discrimination against persons with disabilities and to provide consistent, enforceable standards to address discrimination in the workplace.
