Answer to Question 1

2,3
Rationale 1: There is no indication that the nurse is trying to make up an illness to get time away from work.
Rationale 2: Free-floating anxiety is anxiety that seems to have many alternating causes.

Rationale 4: Compassion fatigue has much more serious symptoms than anxiety.
Rationale 5: There is no evidence of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Task interdependencies occur when one group is dependent upon another group to complete a task.
Rationale 2: Distancing divides a group's members into small, distinct groups and increases chance for conflict.
Rationale 3: Roles are defined as other people's expectations regarding behavior and attitudes.
Rationale 4: The nurses in this situation have the goal to provide the best possible care to clients. The third-party payers have the goal of providing care at the least cost. These two sets of goals are often incompatible and result in conflict.
Global Rationale:
