Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Reporting the accomplishments of the nursing staff is a way to support their importance and power.
Rationale 2: Asking for and doing favors for one another is a form of collaboration.
Rationale 3: The nurse manager should dress in the same manner as others in the meeting.

Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The employee must have worked for the employer for at least 12 months.
Rationale 2: The employee must have worked at least 1,250 hours in the last 12 months.
Rationale 3: This employee has worked 12 months, at least 1,250 hours, and the hospital is large and therefore likely employs over 50 people.
Rationale 4: The employee must be at a work site with 50 or more employees, or at a site where 50 workers are employed within 75 miles of the work site. A small private clinic with 20 employees does not meet this requirement.
