Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Sign-on bonuses have an effect similar to salary compression. A sign-on bonus may be a quick
fix for a nurse shortage, but may lead to dissatisfaction and turnover of long -term employees.
A bonus will not affect the wage scale. The bonus does not recognize experience.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. Salary compression is the effect of higher starting pay of new nurses resulting in lower salaries
for long-term employees. This is a quick fix to a nursing shortage, but a dangerous strategy,
and it may result in dissatisfaction and turnover of more experienced nurses.
