Answer to Question 1

Explanation: 1. Interrole conflict occurs when there is conflict between the roles of nurse manager and a nurse.
Inconsistencies with the charge nurse role can add stress to the unit environment. The manager
is not the issue regarding the roles and conflict described in the question.

Answer to Question 2

practitioner role. The new nurse is a registered nurse, and orientation is just a period of time
