Answer to Question 1

C
Labor is a significant cost. Salaries and benefits account for 50 percent to 60 percent of operational
costs.

Answer to Question 2

D
Reward power is power that is derived from the ability to reward or punish others (Fisher & Koch, 1996). The nurse manager in the example above is demonstrating reward power in the distribution of a 3 merit increase (raise) in salary. Expert power is derived from knowledge and expertise which the nurse manger most likely also has, but this is not demonstrated in this example. Referent power or charisma is derived from a perceived admiration, trust, and respect that individuals feel toward another person based on their ability to inspire confidence, be a great visionary, or display attributes of charisma (Miller, 2003).
