  1. Invite the director of nursing to a unit meeting.
   2. Circulate a petition to all staff seeking support for change in assignment policy.
   3. Organize a unit meeting to discuss the problem on all shifts.
   4. Discuss the problem with the team leader, then the manager if the problem
  persists.

Question 2

After a care provider has explained a procedure to the client, the client seems confused. Ethically, what is the nurse's next action?
 
  1. The nurse should sign the document witnessing the client's signature.
   2. The nurse should assess understanding, since the client appears confused. 3. The nurse should have the care provider come back and answer any questions the
  client has.
   4. The nurse needs to go over the procedure again, answering any questions
  afterwards.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4

Rationale: Classical theory provides a formal chain of command and system for communication. Inviting the director to a meeting, circulating a petition, and organizing a unit meeting do not take into consideration the chain of command inherent in classical theory.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

Rationale: The nurse needs to assess to understand where the confusion is coming from. The nurse should not sign the document witnessing the signature until any confusion is eliminated by the care provider. The care provider should only be asked to return when the nurse assesses the nature of the confusion. It is not the nurse's responsibility to re-explain the procedure and answer questions.
