A nurse who is obtaining a bachelor degree in nursing is sharing the concept of magnet status for hospitals. The nurse explains to the nursing staff that magnet hospitals appeal to nurses because of:
1. Centralized administration.
2. Higher salaries.
3. Lower nurse/client ratios.
4. Participatory management.

Explanation: 1. Participatory management gives staff nurses a feeling of empowerment. Nurses report
increased job satisfaction when they share a vested interest in the success of the organization.
Higher salaries do not always increase satisfaction. Magnet hospitals would most likely not
have centralized administration or low nurse/client ratios.
