Answer to Question 1

3,4
Rationale 1: Directing the nurse back to the unit for good-byes is not a good idea.
Rationale 2: The hospital should not be involved in cleaning out the employee's locker.
Rationale 3: The terminated employee should be attended by the manager or by security at all times.
Rationale 4: It must be very clear that termination has occurred and that the nurse is no longer an employee.
Rationale 5: Once termination has occurred, the manager has no control over the employee's actions.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. While morning labs are certainly important, this situation has the least potential to be a
dangerous situation. The others are more serious in nature and humor is certainly
inappropriate.
