Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 1. If staff appear to be under great deal of stress, the manager must help identify the source and
decide how these can be reduced or eliminated. Transferring the nurse to the medical -surgical
unit may add to his stress and is not a win-win situation for both parties. Written instructions
and reducing the nurses work load are not addressing the nurses concerns or requests.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. Role redefinition involves clarifying roles and attempting to integrate or tie together the
various roles individuals play. This may cause role negotiation in an attempt to lessen the
workload.
