Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Pulling nurses from other units may not be an option since the OB department is a specialized
nursing unit. Day shift nurses typically have more seniority than night shift nurses. Requiring
day shift nurses to work night shift may cause an increase in nurse turnover. The manager has
already consulted with HR and has learned that staff are tired of the overtime. Decreasing the
amount of overtime and the managers ability to work alongside staff will affect morale.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. Discussing the matter with other managers may assist in an attempt to discover the issues but
surveying current staff and staff that have left within the past year will provide the manager
with information regarding the units issues. Increasing wages is a short-term solution and
may cause discord among other nurses within the organization. Staff already have the
opportunity for overtime.
