Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Thwarting the social needs of individuals may stimulate resistance and antagonism that defeat management's objectives. According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the nurse manager was interfering with the social needs of her staff members.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
According to Herzberg, work motivations include achievement, growth, responsibility, advancement, recognition, and the job itself. If people are satisfied with their jobs, they are receiving positive feedback, developing skills, and improving their performance (e.g., through taking graduate courses or courses leading to a certification).
