Answer to Question 1

C
By threatening the staff nurse with suspension, you would be exerting coercive power. As the nurse
manager, you are demonstrating your ability and authority to take disciplinary action against the staff
nurse in order to influence the nurse to change the behavior.

Answer to Question 2

C
The four categories of occupational health hazards are infectious agents (i.e., HIV and hepatitis),
physical agents (i.e., radiation, noise), environmental agents (i.e., poor air quality), and chemical
agents (i.e., ethyl oxide and glutardehyde).
