Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Creating a motivating workplace involves providing regular feedback to employees. This feed-back allows individuals to develop plans for improving their personal capacities for achieving goals. Motivation is internal, so it is important to develop employees so that they have internal motivation to contribute to the workplace.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Community-oriented nurses must be able to work comfortably with different types of people and cultures. This can be best accomplished by building coalitions and working with partnerships. Technical skills, the ability to lobby, and computer and word-processing skills are not as im-portant as being able to effectively communicate within the community.
