Two staff nurses are in conflict about the summer vacation schedule. The nurse manager is contemplating assigning both nurses to a task that will require frequent contact with each other, hoping that they will resolve the issue themselves.

  2. Have the nurses ever worked together before on a project?
  3. Will the conflict decrease the efficiency of the unit while the nurses are self-solving the issue?
  4. How intense is the conflict about vacation scheduling?

Answer to Question 1

1,3,4
Rationale 1: If there is high anxiety about the issue, assigning the nurses to a task together is likely not a good idea.
Rationale 2: Whether or not the nurses have worked together before is not a critical consideration.
Rationale 3: If the efficiency of the unit is in jeopardy, the manager should intervene.
Rationale 4: If the conflict regarding vacation scheduling is intense, the nurse manager should abandon this plan.
Rationale 5: It is likely that the rest of the staff already knows about the conflict and that the nurses involved have discussed it. This is not a factor in deciding on a plan.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Reality shock occurs at the transition between nursing student and practicing nurse.
Rationale 2: This manager has asked the nurse to perform a role, but does not trust the nurse to fulfill it. This results in role ambiguity.
Rationale 3: Role conflict is the result of incompatibility between the individual's perception of the role and its actual requirements.
Rationale 4: Burnout refers to the perception that an individual has used up all of his or her available energy to perform the job. Burnout may occur if this situation continues.
