Answer to Question 1

B, D
It is possible that the nurse and nurse manager could be held negligent. The nurse could be held negligent for not moving the patient closer to the nurse's station, calling the physician or nurse practitioner for medications or change in medications, or obtaining an order for a vest restraint. The nurse manager may be held negligent because of 24-hour accountability for the care of pa-tients on his or her unit and possible lack of supervision. The pharmacist and client's wife are not involved in this situation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Coaching, mentoring, facilitating, enabling, and supporting the staff are essential behaviors of the nurse manager to support implementation and continuous growth within the shared governance model.
