Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: It is not mandatory for the nurse to sign the form.
Rationale 2: The written disciplinary form should have an area to indicate that the employee refused to sign. If not, this should be written in by the manager.
Rationale 3: The manager should not sign the nurse's name to the form.
Rationale 4: A second warning is not indicated. The nurse has the right to refuse to sign the form.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2
