Question 2

A group member has failed to complete assigned tasks for three of the last four meetings, despite reminders that incomplete work slows down the entire team. At each meeting the noncompliant member promises to complete tasks for the next meeting.
 
  What group actions are likely to occur? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. The remaining group members may begin to use manipulation to get the tasks done.
  2. The other group members may attack the noncompliant member.
  3. Other group members will quietly complete the noncompliant member's work.
  4. The remainder of the group will ignore the noncompliant member.

Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. A high RN-skill mix allows for more flexibility to meet patient needs. Communication among
staff is important but will not increase flexibility. Maximizing the availability of nursing allows
for more nurses but doesnt take into account the staffing mix.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4
Rationale 1: If rational argument does not work, group members may resort to manipulation of the deviant member.
Rationale 2: When lack of compliance increases or slows the remainder of the group, attacks are likely to occur.
Rationale 3: Group members are not likely to do the work assigned to another member.
Rationale 4: This ignoring behavior is a final step of frustration with the noncompliant member.
Rationale 5: Patience and understanding will be extended only for a little while before the other group members result to strategies that are neither patient nor understanding.
