In trying to achieve Magnet status, the chief nursing officer establishes a shared governance model to help nurses experience job satisfaction.

However, some nurses who have enjoyed working with less autonomy resist this change and begin to criticize and make rude comments about managers who embrace this model, as well as colleagues who support it. The comments are largely ignored because those who are making them are well established nurses who are often vocal about their displeasure with the organization. Organizational conflict is arising from which of the following? a. Staffing practices

Answer to Question 1

D
Organizational conflict arises from discord related to policies and procedures (such as staffing policies and practices and allocation of resources), personnel codes or conduct or accepted norms of behavior (such as incivility), and patterns of communication. A major source conflict in or-ganizations stems from strategies that promote more participation and autonomy of staff nurses.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E
The main components in a violence prevention program are a written plan, worksite analysis, hazard prevention and control, safety and health training, and record keeping and evaluation of the program. Ideally, violence prevention programs are available to all employees, track progress in reducing work-related assaults, reduce severity of injuries sustained by employees, decrease the threat to worker safety, and reflect the level and nature of threat faced by employees (OSHA, 2004).
