Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. With time in a particular area, it is natural for a nurse to gain experience, thereby gaining
confidence. However, attitude is also important. Working with a group on a continual basis
involves a possibility for groupthink and maintaining an atmosphere of trust has little to do
with improving personal decision-making ability.

Answer to Question 2

2,5
Rationale 1: The manager should keep notes on everything discussed regarding discipline. This would benefit the institution.
Rationale 2: Even though coaching is done in short sessions, it should be documented.
Rationale 3: Intervention in less than 1 day shows that the manager was aware of and quickly handling problems.
Rationale 4: The HR director would be party to problems with employees. This does not violate confidentiality.
Rationale 5: This note could be a problem for the institution as it is the manager's opinion, not a defensible fact.
