  1. I have no control over what the nurses do on their time away from work.

Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. A group cannot be a team if the members are competing for resources such as when
completing a budget request. The other group descriptions are considered teams because they
are working together to complete a task or responsibility.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: The remarks were about the nurse's professionalism, which is a part of the nurse's work. The manager does have input into this situation.
Rationale 2: Bullying can occur on the Internet, by text message, or face-to-face.
Rationale 3: This is not an appropriate or helpful remark for the manager to make in this situation.
Rationale 4: The manager must do an assessment of the complaint before acting.
