Answer to Question 1

C
In general, the first action that a nurse manager would take related to tardiness would be a verbal
warning. If the pattern continues then a written warning would most likely be given. Continued
violations may result in suspension and finally termination.

Answer to Question 2

o A wicked problem cannot be solved using a rational decision-making process because wicked problems are difficult problems that have multiple causes, some of which may not be known, and are therefore difficult to solve.
o Various examples of wicked problems will be provided.
