The leader of the task force group announces that tentative plans for Nurses' Week activities have been approved by the hospital administration. The task force has also been given a new task of developing criteria for the nursing awards.
 
  What must the group accomplish now? 1. Forming
  2. Adjourning
  3. Rebuilding
  4. Re-forming

Question 2

A staff nurse is known for having temper tantrums when the unit is stressful. The nurse slams doors, grumbles, and is demeaning to coworkers. The behavior has never been violent, but today it is becoming more threatening.
 
  The nurse just came into the station and said, My nurse assistant is stupid. I'm not going to put up with that much longer. She needs to be put in her place. How should the manager respond to this situation? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. The nurse should be removed from the unit.
  2. A critical incident report should be written about the behavior.
  3. The manager should explain that this is a good nurse who has difficulty tolerating stress.
  4. Security should be notified of the behaviors.
  5. The manager should warn other staff to stay clear of this nurse for the rest of the shift.

Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: Forming occurs in the initial stage of group development when members are meeting for the first time.
Rationale 2: Adjourning occurs when the group dissolves its membership after achieving its objectives.
Rationale 3: In the rebuilding stage, the group membership remains unchanged although new goals have been established.
Rationale 4: In the re-forming stage, the group must refocus its activities and recycle through the four stages. The leader explains the new direction and provides guidance in the process.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4
Rationale 1: The nurse should be removed from the situation.

Rationale 4: As the behaviors are escalating, security should be notified.
Rationale 5: The nurse should not be allowed to remain on the unit for the rest of the shift.
