A male nurse has been assigned to mentor a newly hired female nurse. Several times during the day, the new nurse perceives her mentor as touching her inappropriately.

  a. assault.
  b. assertiveness.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Sexual harassment is about abuse of power. In this situation, the mentor has used unwanted touch and suggested that having a relationship with him would be a condition of advancement. Assault has not occurred. Assertive behavior is not demonstrated in the scenario. The scenario is more specific to sexual harassment than manipulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Calling for a security guard to escort her to her car is the safest option given.
