Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. The nurse manager should quickly discuss any issue that comes to the attention of either the
manager or any other staff person in a personal, caring manner. This can help diffuse the
situation before it gets blown out of proportion. Confrontation is never a good idea as it can
only escalate the incident, and sometimes handling the issue means involving other people.
This may be necessary if the resolution is beyond the responsibility of the manager. Finally,
while a blame-free environment does encourage reporting of errors, there are some mistakes
that cannot be without repercussions.
