Answer to Question 1

B
Nursing time is valuable time and, often enough, nurses do not understand how their time is compensated in addition to their salary. Benefits play a key part of nurse and employee compensation and may comprise between 15 to 30 of the total cost per employee.

Answer to Question 2

A
The new graduate has chosen to avoid the older nurse by being transferred to the evening shift.
Avoidance is common and it may be on a conscious or unconscious level. There may be
circumstances where avoidance is appropriate such as: (1) one of the parties is leaving so the conflict
will resolve itself, (2) the conflict is not solvable and not all that important, and (3) there are other
more important issues at stake and conflict management is not worth the time and energy required at
this point. A better solution would be for the new graduate to discuss the situation with the older
nurse.
