Explanation: 1. Any time bullying occurs and is not confronted, the unit and organization are more prone to
turnover, litigation (under the legal doctrine of res ipsa loquitur, or let the master answer),
decreased job satisfaction, and, because of a damaged reputation, a deceased ability to recruit
new staff. Client satisfaction with care suffers because of decreased job satisfaction causing
lower morale and increased sick calls.
