Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Accommodation allows a person to try to make a situation better when the he or she is less interested in the situation than the other party and, therefore, just allows the conflict to deflate.
2. Collaboration is when all parties attempt to reach an acceptable solution for all.
3. Avoidance enables the person to withdraw or ignore a situation that is not worth what might be lost if it is addressed. This often occurs when one party in a conflict is leaving.
4. Passive-aggressive behavior makes conflict worse. It is when there is resistance to following through with expectations. This resistance can be obstructionist.

Answer to Question 2

2, 3, 4
Explanation: 1. There is nothing that indicates that justice is not being done for this patient. The patient is in the hospital for care.
2. The discussion in the hallway is not keeping the patient's medical information private.
3. The patient has not been informed of the treatment plan.
4. The patient has not been given information to make decisions regarding care.
5. There is nothing that indicates that harm has come to this patient yet.
