Answer to Question 1

C
By threatening to close the clinic, management is threatening a lockout. A lockout relates to closing a
place of business by management in the course of a labor dispute to attempt to force employees to
accept management terms.

The nurse is most likely a member of the Baby Boomer generation. These individuals define
