Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. This nurse is experiencing burnout. The best strategy to retain the nurse for the organization is
to transfer the nurse to a new unit with a different job description. This will be a loss to the
unit, but a savings for the organization. Increase in salary, a day shift position, or new tasks on
the oncology unit will not likely retain this employee.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. Facilitating communication from the organizations administration to the nursing staff and vice
versa keeps the employees involved in the organizations strategic plan and allows for upper
management to be aware of the employees concerns and /or issues. A review of the new
employees history of employment will give the nurse manager an idea of his or her past
commitment to the workplace but this does not affect the current nursing staff. Young people
are typically not committed to staying in one area for a long time. Verbal responses during an
interview may not provide enough information to predict the employees length of stay.
