Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. It is the responsibility of the nurse manager to protect the nurse from the bullying nurse. By
starting a conversation with the nurse who is scaring the other nurse, the nurse manager
allows the scared nurse to get away. The next time the nurse manager works with the scared
nurse, the nurse should talk to the nurse manager about ways to stop the behaviors. Doing
nothing is incorrect as it seems to condone the behavior, overtly coming to the nurses rescue
may make the situation worse, and security is not needed at this point.

Answer to Question 2

2,3,4,5
Rationale 1: It is not possible to predict when a disaster will occur.
Rationale 2: This section of the plan would address mitigation of the disaster.
Rationale 3: This section would be titled Preparedness.
Rationale 4: This is the response section.
