Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4
Explanation: 1. Ignoring policies can be a sign of destructive conflict.
2. Denial of the problem can be a sign of destructive conflict. The manager should be alert for additional indicators.
3. This statement acknowledges the problem and indicates that a solution is possible.
4. Avoiding a staff member can be a sign of destructive conflict.
5. Just having lunch with a nurse from another unit is not a sign of destructive conflict. If the nurse is discussing the situation in negative terms with the other nurse, a problem may exist.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 4
Explanation: 1. This is true of effective communication with other healthcare providers, as well as with staff and patients. Clear communication is essential to understanding.
2. This has little to do with malpractice.
3. Effective leaders have a good understanding of legal and ethical principles that guide healthcare.
4. When patients and people on the healthcare team believe that the nurse is genuinely interested in them and in quality care, the risk for lawsuits diminishes.
5. While it is good to follow policy and procedures, the expert nurse will learn when it is best for the patient for the rules to be modified.
