A nurse manager and an employee meet to discuss the employees appraisal. They disagree on the content of the employee evaluation. The disagreement turns into an argument. The best managerial strategy is to:
 
  1. Postpone the interview.
  2. Agree on arbitration.
  3. Seek input from employee peers.
  4. Report the employee to the human resources manager.

Question 2

A baccalaureate nurse has been invited to join Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI). While trying to decide about taking the offer, the nurse asks a member about the organization.
 
  Which option reflects the best reason to join a group such as this? 1. It offers the privilege of joining a distinguished group of professionals.
  2. It offers the privilege of participating in an organization.
  3. It offers the ability to network and learn while serving the organization.
  4. It offers the ability to join the American Nurses Association.

Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Postponing the interview allows both manager and employee to calm down and reflect on the
disagreement. It is inappropriate to seek input from peers, as evaluation is a confidential
interaction. The first step is not arbitration or referral to human resources.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: While the members of STTI are a distinguished group of professionals and it is a privilege to be asked to join, those are not the major reasons for joining.
Rationale 2: While the members of STTI are a distinguished group of professionals and it is a privilege to be asked to join, those are not the major reasons for joining.
Rationale 3: Membership in professional associations offers many opportunities for networking and learning while serving the organization on committees and task forces.
Rationale 4: You do not have to be a member of STTI in order to join ANA.
