Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. The nurse should provide pertinent information to the physician. There is not enough
information to determine if the information could have waited until the morning to report to
the physician.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Authoritarian or punitive supervisory behavior is closely related to stress levels. Staff must
feel comfortable in reporting necessary information to their manager so issues can be
addressed and resolved. The manager may report the information to human resources but
should report the incidents to her manager, typically a director or CNO.
