Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. When there is a policy violation, it is necessary to confront the employee. The steps of
confrontation are similar to those of coaching. It is not necessary for the manager to use
valuable time checking the parking lot. The problem cannot wait until the next employee
appraisal. It is not fair to discuss the issue with the entire staff.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. If the nurse manager has identified a problem, there must be documented attempts to correct
the behavior through coaching, discipline, and/or punishment. Keeping the employee
informed of expectations and performance, addressing problems in a timely manner, and
keeping HR informed of policy violations are all appropriate actions by the manager.
