Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: It is inappropriate for the registered nurse to issue a warning.
Rationale 2: While many hospitals have a policy of verbal warning or coaching as a first step, the real issue is that the assistant's due process was not followed.
Rationale 3: The manager should investigate the matter and listen to the assistant's reasons for the registered nurse's complaint. If a written warning is appropriate, it should not be written until after the complaint has been investigated and the assistant has had an opportunity to discuss the issue.
Rationale 4: It is inappropriate for the human resources department to issue a warning.
Global Rationale:
