Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Progressive discipline starts with a verbal reprimand, followed by a written reprimand, and then suspension without pay. Discipline without punishment imposes disciplinary suspension with pay to demonstrate that management is sincere in the desire to see the worker change and stay. If no corrective action is taken, the last step is termination.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When taking corrective, constructive action, the manager should be sure that the staff nurse understands that the behavior was contrary to the organization's requirements and should explain why such regulations are necessary. The staff nurse should be counseled as to what behavior is required and how to prevent future disciplinary action.
