Answer to Question 1

A, B, F
In order to make sound decisions, you should trust yourself, make only decisions that are yours to
make, and consider not only yourself but how your decisions will affect others. Additional strategies to
use include writing down pros and cons of an issue to help clarify your thinking; writing notes and
keeping ideas visible about decisions in order to utilize all relevant information; and making decisions
as you go along rather than procrastinating and letting them accumulate. While expert nurses can
provide valuable information, you as a new graduate can still make decisions related to patient care.

Answer to Question 2

B
Organizational behavior emphasizes actions and attitudes of people within organizations such as job
satisfaction, commitment (loyalty), and performance (productivity).
