The population health nurse is working with a group trying to determine the best location for a new community center. The elderly representatives in the group are not participating in the discussions. The nurse should:
 
  1. Respect their right to be silent and not encourage discussion from them.
  2. Manipulate the discussion so that they must contribute.
  3. Comment on the fact that they have not participated in the discussion and ask why.
  4. Encourage more discussion from the younger representatives as that will encourage the elderly to join in the discussion.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. In this situation the nurse should comment on the fact that the elderly have not participated and ask them why. The ensuing discussion may expose the conflict and the group can start to work on it. Recognizing the existence of conflict and identifying its sources and possible solutions are strategies for constructive use of conflict. A conflict that is ignored in the hope that it will resolve itself is likely to become worse.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2
Explanation: 1. Selecting its members and identifying goals and purposes relates to the assessment and diagnosis steps of the nursing process. The assessment and diagnosis component of the nursing process relates to the orientation stage of group development, which relates to group tasks of selection of group members, training for group participation, and identification of goals and purposes. Planning involves establishment of modes of decision making, development of mechanisms for conflict resolution, development of communication network, and development of climate conducive to group collaboration. Evaluation involves planning of evaluative mechanisms for outcomes of action taken, assignment of member roles and tasks in evaluation, data collection, analysis or evaluative findings and possible group dissolution.
