Answer to Question 1

D
Professional autonomy, or control over the practice environment, was identified as the strongest predictor of nurses' identification with the organization (Apker et al., 2003). Nurses who did not believe their jobs provided sufficient freedom were less likely to experience feelings of affiliation and loyalty toward their employers.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nursing workload includes direct nursing care activities such as assessment for signs of compli-cations, bathing, medication administration, and performing treatments and procedures. It also consists of indirect care activities such as calling doctors, ordering laboratory tests, and commu-nicating with physical and respiratory therapists.
