Conflict has arisen within the hospital regarding who will staff a proposed high-acuity unit. The nurse executive and other administrators have purposefully not intervened in this conflict.
 
  Why is that strategy appropriate? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Conflict draws attention to an issue.
  2. The administrators do not like conflict management.
  3. Conflict can stimulate new ideas about how to manage the high-acuity unit.
  4. Conflict about the unit will help to identify the compromises necessary to make it a viable part of the hospital system.
  5. Conflicts about staffing may make current staff members reexamine their own performance.

Question 2

The nurse manager has identified physical assessment skills lacking in a new registered nurse. Using goal-setting theory, which of the following would be the most effective in enhancing the nurses assessment skills?
 
  1. You need to work on your health assessment skills before your next employee evaluation.
  2. Get someone to help you with your health assessment skills by the end of the month.
  3. Read a health assessment book and practice your skills.
  4. Plan to study one body system each week and demonstrate your assessment skills to the nurse manager
  each week.

Answer to Question 1

1,3,4,5
Rationale 1: There may be a reason that administration would desire that attention be brought to the new unit. Conflict will bring that attention.
Rationale 2: Whether or not the administrators like conflict management probably has little to do with their decision.
Rationale 3: Conflict can stimulate thought and new ideas.
Rationale 4: Any new program or unit comes at a cost and the cost-benefit ratio must be explored. Conflict can help others identify the compromises and costs associated with starting this unit.
Rationale 5: Staff members who wish to be considered for staffing the new unit may improve their own performance and effectiveness.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 1. The manager needs to set systematic and measurable goals with the employee. The manager
will follow up with the employee each week. Informing the nurse to develop the skills without
providing a process and time frames to accomplish these goals will not motivate the nurse.
