Answer to Question 1

D
The unit manager did not begin with an accurate identification of the problem. Problem solving needs to begin with why?

Answer to Question 2

B
Documentation in literature is extensive regarding disruptive and distracting communication in-teractions not only between nurses and colleagues but also between nurses and patients. The re-search indicates that nursing personnel experience high turnover rates, job dissatisfaction, and burnout; many registered nurses are leaving the profession. The work environment is described as hostile to nurses, and patient outcomes of increased severity of illness and mortality have been directly related to poor communication skills of the staff.
