Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
In a threatening situation, you should white out and give the person what he or she wants. Let the person go and then call security. Your responsibility is to protect yourself, other staff, and patients and their families.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Unresolved conflict is the greatest cause of conflict, which occurs when an individual is aggressive and devalues another person. Angry feelings remain unresolved because the devalued person does not know how to manage the conflict.
