B) Those of the hardworking, loyal veterans
C) Those of the adaptable, techno-savvy Generation Xers

Answer: A
Learning from the unique strengths of each generation can decrease interpersonal tension and facilitate personal growth. Nurses who learn to acknowledge and appreciate their colleagues from different backgrounds, including generational backgrounds, have a distinct advantage. The best teams utilize the contributions of each generation's skill set and strengths. The hardworking, loyal veterans; the idealist, passionate baby boomers; the technoliterate, adaptable Generation Xers; and the young, optimistic Millennials can come together in a powerful network of nurses with a remarkable ability to support each other and maximize each nurse's contribution to client care.
