A nurse admits to diverting narcotic drugs while working. The manager says, All nurses who admit diverting narcotics have to be reported to the state board of nursing. How should the nurse interpret this statement?

1. As true, because any nurse who admits diversion must be reported to the state's board of nursing
2. As false, because in some states reporting depends on other factors
3. As beneficial, because the state board of nursing will help the nurse find a substance abuse program
4. As career ending, because the state board of nursing is required to suspend the license of any nurse who admits to diverting drugs

Question 2

The person who has just been promoted to nurse manager is male. If this nurse communicates in a way that is considered typical for men, what can the staff expect?

1. He will focus more on the issue than on personal experience.
2. He will strive to reach consensus within the group.
3. He will strive to avoid conflict within the group.
4. He will prefer to ask questions rather than make statements.
