1. Task interdependencies occur when one group is dependent upon another group to complete a task.
2. Distancing divides a group's members into small, distinct groups and increases chance for conflict.
3. Roles are defined as other people's expectations regarding behavior and attitudes.
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.
