Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Surveying the nursing staff will allow nurses the opportunity to inform the manager of
concerns and possible solutions to decrease the tension on the unit. Although rotating staff to
leadership roles, taking a client assignment, and arranging a meeting with human resources
may help the situation they do not allow the manager to assess what is causing the tension.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Placing the nurse in a charge nurse position enriches the nurses job. Transferring the nurse to
another unit will not enhance leadership skills; in fact, it may cause the nurse to wonder why
she is being transferred. Providing an educational program may cause resentment among the
nurses.
