Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. The next step in progressive discipline would be a written warning. Counseling and verbal
warnings have already been conducted. Termination may be too severe and does not follow
the progressive discipline process.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 1. The director of the unit has stated that it is the managers responsibility to handle issues and
provide training, and has not offered support. The constant complaining and the fact that the
nurses are a cohesive group are issues that most managers must deal with on a day-to-day
basis. Managers may not feel comfortable with confrontation, but this is their job.
