Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The manager will probably pay close attention to the hospital administrator because of the position.
Rationale 2: When there is a long-term relationship, the listener sometimes thinks they know what the other person is going to say. Careful listening is necessary in these situations.
Rationale 3: The manager would be attuned to someone who is new to the organization and who might be hesitant to speak. This is not a common situation in which the manager would have preconceived beliefs.
Rationale 4: The nurse manager will likely listen very closely to this conversation without preconceived beliefs.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 5
Explanation: 1. Personal goals are those not work related. Thus, the nurses losing weight, not losing items,
studying, and saving are all personal goals. Avoiding being late for work (or getting caught) is
a job-related goal.
