  2. Low wages cause so much job dissatisfaction that the nurses unionize.
  3. Having to work with supervisors as staff when nurses call in is one reason.
  4. Many nurses have supervisors who think they understand what it's like to work on the unit every day.
  5. Many nurses are frustrated because communication between nurses and administration is so poor.

Answer to Question 1

1,4,5
Rationale 1: Unionization becomes an attractive option when a combination of factors causes dissatisfaction. Low wages alone are not usually the cause, but low wages associated with other factors such as high client acuity and ratios may cause nurses to seek unionization.
Rationale 2: Unionization is an attractive option when a combination of factors causes dissatisfaction. Low wages alone are not usually the cause.
Rationale 3: Supervisors and managers working and assisting as staff would improve nurse/management relations and assist with communication.
Rationale 4: Supervisors who assume they know what issues are concerning to the staff do not help create trust in the work environment.
Rationale 5: Ineffective communication is often the reason for job dissatisfaction, which can make unionization an attractive option.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2,4
Rationale 1: It is often desirable for a few task force members with differing expertise to participate in this presentation.
Rationale 2: The full task force should have opportunity to review and comment on the report draft before it goes to the administration.
Rationale 3: The report should be presented to administrators in person.
Rationale 4: The leader should meet with key administrators to bring particularly important findings or recommendations to light prior to presenting the report to the full administrative panel.
Rationale 5: The document presented to the full task force should be legible, but should be a draft. Professional printing and binding should occur after the draft is finalized.
Global Rationale:
