Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The plan for employee early recognition and response to violent behavior is included in the ori-entation of new employees and annual skills day. The other options are not beneficial to the overall prevention plan.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
If the workplace is intolerant of horizontal violence, staff will not participate in that form of con-flict. The other options are not actions that should be taken by the manager.
