Answer to Question 1

a

a. Correct: In a non-unionized organization, if the dispute cannot be resolved through early discussions, mediation may be employed. Mediation consists of two disputing parties working to find a solution that they both agree on. They do this in the presence of a mediator who facilitates the process but does not identify the solution.
b. Incorrect: A mediator facilitates the dispute process; he or she does not reprimand employees.
c. Incorrect: Mediation is employed when a resolution between two parties can't be reached, not when an employee threatens to report the organization to a labour board.
d. Incorrect: Mediation involves a mediator facilitating the dispute process between two people; the mediator does not make a final decision on the issue but helps the two people come to a mutually acceptable decision.

The charge nurse would recognize that Generation Y nurses tend to be optimistic, street smart, expect
diversity, crave structure, and are technologically savvy. Option a describes Baby Boomers, option c
