Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. The CNA has discussed the issue with the manager and the behavior continues. It would not
be beneficial for the CNA to address the matter with the coworker or the charge nurse. It
would be appropriate for the CNA to discuss the issues/concerns with the director of the
department. Discussing the matter with the director is following the chain of command.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 1. Organizing a training program to educate staff will increase staffs confidence and competence
with handling situations such as these. Arranging an agreement and discussing the situation
with law enforcement will not assist staff in learning how to manage these clients when timing
is critical. Developing a team of on-call staff will not help the situation.
