Rationale 1: Being too busy to get work done is reactive, not proactive.
Rationale 2: The manager knew the unit would be busy and could control lack of supplies by ordering more. This is a proactive statement.
Rationale 3: The manager should predict that new graduates require more time to complete tasks and should plan for that problem.
Rationale 4: The nurse manager knows that nurses need to keep current and also knows that many of the nurses supervised do not read journals. A proactive solution to this problem has been proposed.
Rationale 5: A proactive approach would be to ask the supervisor for clarification about the remark.
