Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
By nature, conflict is potentially present in all interpersonal situations. The nurse manager should create an environment that recognizes and values differences in staff, physicians, patients, and communities.

Bullying is closely related to lateral or horizontal violence and involves such behaviors as incivility or intimidation.
