Answer to Question 1

A
Research by Aiken, Havens and Sloane (2000), Friese (2005), and Lake and Friese (2006) noted that health care facilities that have obtained magnet status tend to have environments that are indicative of nurse job satisfaction, prevention of burnout, and an improvement in perceived quality of care.
