A nurse tells a coworker that she has been working on a regular basis with a group that demon-strates cohesion. Which of the following groups is the nurse most likely to describe?
a. A group with several leaders
b. A group with diverse attitudes and values
c. A group with a common goal
d. A group with efficient members
ANS: C
Cohesion is the attraction between individual members and between each member and the group. Group effectiveness improves as members work together toward group goals while still satisfying the needs of individual members. A group with several leaders may have difficulty obtaining co-hesion if each of the leaders has a different idea. Common attitudes and values among the group members will be important for the group to obtain cohesion. Efficiency does not play a role in developing cohesion.
