Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

Rationale: It is important for the nurse manager to counsel with a nurse about undesirable behavior. This meeting should include constructive criticism, ways to correct the problem, and a look to the future with a positive attitude. The nurse manager should share information with the nurse about desirable behaviors, as well as the current problem. The nurse manager can brainstorm with the nurse about ways to prevent the problem from occurring. The nurse manager should seek information from the nurse to understand why the problem is occurring. Following the steps outlined when counseling the nurse will help protect the rights of the nurse and the facility.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

Rationale: The nurse deserves to be part of a two-way evaluation. The nurse and nurse manager must meet in person to conduct the interview. Each step of the process must be included. The nurse manager should allow for an adequate amount of uninterrupted private time with the nurse to conduct the interview. The nurse manager has no reason to bring human resources into this interview. No grievance has been filed. The nurse manager should never share negative information about a nurse with the nurse's peers.
