Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Under the 1974 amendment of the Taft-Hartley Act, nonprofit hospitals were
required to bargain with nurses for better salaries and working conditions. The formation of
unions and the recognition of nursing as a profession predated this act. The 1974 amendment
did not specify wages and hours of work.

Answer to Question 2

Great help.
