4
Rationale 1: Task interdependencies occur when one group is dependent upon another group to complete a task.
Rationale 2: Distancing divides a group's members into small, distinct groups and increases chance for conflict.
Rationale 3: Roles are defined as other people's expectations regarding behavior and attitudes.
Rationale 4: The nurses in this situation have the goal to provide the best possible care to clients. The third-party payers have the goal of providing care at the least cost. These two sets of goals are often incompatible and result in conflict.
