Answer to Question 1

B
Workplace bullying involves aggressive and destructive behaviors such as running a smear campaign, engaging in put-downs, and excluding team members from socialization opportunities.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Dividing the project into smaller, manageable pieces will help make the project seem less over-whelming. Delegating other responsibilities such as housekeeping and taking her mother shopping also will relieve some of the burden she is experiencing. Exercise is important to help the nurse deal with stress and would not be wise to delete from her schedule, if possible.
