Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Substance abusers, angry or withdrawn workers, personnel with excessive absenteeism, and an employee who is being terminated provide challenges to nurse managers. In each case the manager must be alert to symptoms of problems, help the employee solve the problem, and evaluate the results.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Positive reinforcement increases the probability of a recurrence of desired behavior. A number of stimuli, such as assistance with tuition, can be used to reinforce behavior. Recognition is one of the easiest, cheapest, and most universally effective reinforcers.
