A valued longtime nursing employee says to the manager, I'm so tired of all the politics on this unit. I'm thinking about retiring. What should be the manger's response?
 
  1. I've just got 3 more years and I can retire. I can't wait.
  2. I know, but I can't do anything to change the situation.
  3. I'd hate to lose you, but have you thought about transferring to a different unit?
  4. Will you stay if I can get you a raise?

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: If the manager wishes to retain this employee, a statement about wanting to retire is not prudent.
Rationale 2: The manager is not offering this nurse any alternative except that the politics will continue.
Rationale 3: The manager has offered the possibility of lateral transfer to this employee. It will not keep the employee on the manager's unit, but will keep the employee in the organization.
Rationale 4: Money might be enough to entice the employee to stay, but it is not the best option offered.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. The purpose of a command group is to accomplish tasks in an organization, and these groups
are recognized as legitimate organizational entities. An ordinary interacting group generally
has a formal leader and is run with an informal structure. A task force has a focus with a
specific time-limited assignment. An informal group evolves from social interactions that have
no organizational structure.
