The medical residents on a particular unit do not answer pages very quickly, and sometimes do not answer them at all. The nursing staff complains to the nursing supervisor.
 
  After several weeks, this conflict has spiraled into a heated disagreement. Which is the most important reason to make the necessary changes to settle this conflict? 1. Client care and satisfaction will suffer should it be allowed to continue.
  2. The residents cannot be allowed to continue such unprofessional behavior.
  3. Residents who do not answer pages do not get the most out of the experience.
  4. Physicians do not know what is going on with clients if the residents do not tell them.

Question 2

The OB manager is looking at staffing for the night shift. The post-partum unit is busy and the labor-delivery unit has four clients in labor. The manager collects data from the nursing staff regarding the acuity of their clients.
 
  These data assist the manager in determining the staff for the next shift. This is an example of which type of system? 1. Client-care related
  2. Staff related
  3. Organizational related
  4. Patient classification

Rationale 2: This is unprofessional behavior on the part of the residents, but this does not answer why it is important to settle the conflict.
Rationale 3: It is true that residents must fully participate in training in order to get the most out of it, but this does not answer why it is important to settle the conflict.
Rationale 4: Physicians may be slower in getting client information if residents are not professional, but this is not the best answer to this question.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 1. Patient classification systems focus on the clients acuity. Client-care-, staff-, and
organizational-related systems do not take into account clients acuity.
