Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

Rationale: The reward that motivates a person in a particular situation depends on the situation in which the nurse finds herself. An individual is not always motivated by extrinsic rewards like extra money, time off, or improved relationships. While one nurse can be motivated by either extrinsic or intrinsic rewards, it is more precise to note that it is dependent upon the situation. Finally, an individual nurse is not always motivated by intrinsic rewards. The successful motivator is situation-specific.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1; 4; 5

Rationale:
 Opportunities to gain experience: Gaining experience means working more with different experiences. This would be extrinsic to the individual.
 Increased job satisfaction: Job satisfaction is internal, and therefore an intrinsic reward.
 Improved ability: The nurse's ability to perform more tasks more efficiently and effectively is intrinsic, as it is internal to the nurse.
 Increased recognition: Recognition for a job well done is external to the nurse, and so is considered an extrinsic reward.
 Time off for conferences: Conference attendance is external to the nurse, and so is an extrinsic reward.
