Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Nurses who are older may desire the job security and not change jobs as frequently as younger
nurses. Nurses with increased education, geographic mobility, and specialty skills are in high
demand and at risk for higher turnover.

Answer to Question 2

2, 3, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. The loss of a staff member is not always a loss to the unit. In this case the remaining staff may
have the opportunity for overtime. A decrease in employee conflicts may increase enthusiasm
for the job. New ideas can arise with a new nurse in the position. Unfortunately, agency nurses
may need to be used if the position goes unfilled. This is a costly problem. Until the position is
filled there may be a lower nurse-to-client ratio.
