Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 5
Explanation: 1. Stress can occur from personal factors. Rate of life changes such as marriage, pregnancy,
and/or purchasing of a new home can generate stress.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. The CNO should investigate the matter to determine what has caused a high turnover in staff.
The HR director has already discussed the issue with the nurse director, who does not
acknowledge there is an issue with turnover. Reviewing exit interview notes of employees who
have left and discussing the matter with current staff will provide the CNO with information
regarding the directors management style.
