  4. Why was this considered an emergency case?

Answer to Question 1

Rationale 3: The manager should remain calm while coaching.
Rationale 4: The question regarding the urgency of the case is not applicable to the situation.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: It is inappropriate for the registered nurse to issue a warning.
Rationale 2: While many hospitals have a policy of verbal warning or coaching as a first step, the real issue is that the assistant's due process was not followed.
Rationale 3: The manager should investigate the matter and listen to the assistant's reasons for the registered nurse's complaint. If a written warning is appropriate, it should not be written until after the complaint has been investigated and the assistant has had an opportunity to discuss the issue.
Rationale 4: It is inappropriate for the human resources department to issue a warning.
Global Rationale:

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
