Where does Nurse Ratched go after her outburst about the TV?

• A. The hallways
• B. The Day Room
• C. Her office
• D. The Nurses' Station

Answer: (D)

She goes back to the Nurses’ Station. This spot is the ward’s control center, where Nurse Ratched can oversee the patients, issue orders through the intercom, and keep an eye on the staff. It’s the place that symbolizes her authority and ability to enforce rules in real time. The Day Room is where patients gather and interact, so it’s not where she reasserts control. The hallways are just movement spaces, not places she would retreat to command from. An office would be more private, but the station is the central hub she uses to monitor and direct the ward.
