The nurse tells a peer that the nurse is being sexually harassed. Which of the following statements by the nurse best describes quid pro quo sexual harassment?
1. "The nurse manager touched me inappropriately while we were in the supply closet."
2. "I was told that I would be promoted if I had a sexual relationship with the nurse manager."
3. "Every time I walk in the room, the nurse manager tells a sexist joke."
4. "I hate that pin-up calendar with all of the nude pictures in the break room."
Answer: 2
Rationale: All of the comments by the nurse are examples of sexual harassment. Quid pro quo sexual harassment is a specific type of sexual harassment. Most of the early cases of sexual harassment were quid pro quo. One person in an authoritative position would demand sex in exchange for a job privilege or promotion. Inappropriate touching, pin-up calendars, leering, gestures, and sexist remarks or behaviors are all examples of hostile environment harassment.
