Answer to Question 1

D
Although the RN can help interpret for the patient what the physician is saying, the RN does not suggest ignoring physician advice.

Answer to Question 2

B
Setting up a win-win situation requires a collaborative method of conflict resolution. The two opposing parties come together to decide on mutual goals, design interventions to meet these goals, and work together to evaluate the outcomes. Because the parties agree on how to deal with the situation, all parties involved have a sense of ownership and will generally work together to achieve the best outcome for all. Engaging in collaborative steps to resolve conflict may assist the RN in managing conflicts that threaten to derail the team and ultimately impede patient care.
