Answer to Question 1
Answer: A
In a hospital, the problem is usually first reported to the charge nurse, then to the unit manager. If the problem is still not resolved, the nurse may approach someone in middle or upper management. Suggestions to the healthcare provider about rehabilitation do not address the nurse's responsibility to the clients and the organization. The nurse should address the problem through the chain of command within the hospital.
Answer to Question 2
