Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
If the charge nurse observes life-threatening or illegal deficiencies on the part of an employee, the director of nursing should be notified at once. The employee should be suspended, pending investigation. During suspension, retraining or treatment may occur. However, if the employee's act was very serious, termination of employment is often the only legal option open to the facility

Answer to Question 2

C
