Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. When responsibilities are left undone on one shift for another to complete, negative
communication tends to develop in the form of complaints and us against them. Leaving the
office door open when discussing concerns, discussing personal problems with each other, and
discouraging friendly relationships will promote a culture of negative communication.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: The manager should collect more information before contacting the nurse from the previous shift.
Rationale 2: The nurse manager must first assess the situation.
Rationale 3: The manager should not tell the daughter that the shift was understaffed. This is a liability and does not address the daughter's concerns.
Rationale 4: Until the manager has assessed the issue, intervention cannot be provided.
