Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: The RN must focus on the work that requires RN skills. In some cases, this work consumes much of the shift. The RN should not ignore that work to placate the UAP.
Rationale 2: Resentment against the team leader for not doing real nursing is a common drawback of team nursing.
Rationale 3: Reporting the UAP for unprofessional behavior will not make the resentment go away and may make the situation worse.
Rationale 4: There is no indication that this UAP is not educated or does not work well on a team. The UAP may not understand the roles on the team.
