Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Exploring alternatives allows the nurse to develop problem solving skills and assist in the
prevention of future problems related to the situation. A follow-up meeting may or may not be
required. A meeting with the human resources director is not necessary unless mediation is
needed.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 1. The physicians attitude and the staffs actions are not the issue the manager is addressing at
this moment. The nurse is already aware of the policy violation because it has been discussed.
