Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Disputes about working conditions and practices can often be resolved through the institution's grievance procedure. Confronting the nurses may not be beneficial and it would be inappropriate and ineffective to involve the state board of nursing or physicians.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Benefits are an important consideration that should have a significant impact on the nurse's choice of workplace. Benefits are likely a more important consideration than friends, the start date, or the size of each facility.
