Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: The process of implementing merit raises is long and would probably not be feasible until the next budget cycle; lobbying for merit raises would not address this concern immediately.
Rationale 2: Calling the nurse aside and agreeing with the complaint does not address the concern, but rather validates the concern.
Rationale 3: The nurse manager may wish to report the episode in order to support the need for a merit system, but that action also does not address the immediate concern.
Rationale 4: All of these options are possible strategies for dealing with this complaint, but the best one is to emphasize the practice development aspects of evaluation.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 1. Reflective inquiry is a process that enables a person to deal with facts and solutions in an
objective, scientific manner. Premature interpretation has the potential to alter ones ability to
deal with facts objectively and can introduce biases. Risky shift occurs when a decision is made
by a group as opposed to an individual. Dialectal inquiry formalizes conflict within group
decision making.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
