Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Communication and social support are additional factors in reducing stress. Both upward and
downward communication channels should be open. Keeping personnel informed about what
is going on in an organization helps to reduce suspicion and rumors.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Nurse managers are in a position to help their employees. Assessing whether their
management or leadership style is helpful or appropriate allows managers to enhance their
performance. Attempting to appear helpful or obtaining the nurses view of the manager will
only encourage an environment of mistrust in the future.
