Answer to Question 1

D
Motivation is a process that occurs internally to influence and direct our behavior in order to satisfy our needs. Motivation is not explicitly demonstrated by people, but rather interpreted from their behavior. Motivation is whatever influences our choices and creates direction, intensity, and persistence in our behavior.

Answer to Question 2

Explanation: 1. Everyday change is occurring and in health care the pace is fast. To find satisfaction in your
career requires that you be able to adjust and respond to change. The most important attribute
you can bring to this effort is flexibility. Client care, nursing staff, and the paperwork are all
important but the managers approach and ability to manage the stress will determine whether
she stays in that position.
