Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This is an example of specific, complete communication. It should be followed by giving the nursing assistant an opportunity to repeat what is expected. The other instructions are vague and could leave the nursing assistant wondering what to do.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Documenting the incident in the charge nurse's personal file will allow the charge nurse to later determine whether a pattern develops. If no pattern develops, no harm has been done to the employee's work record. A first instance of tardiness does not require reprimand or termination, but rather an explanation that the expectation for all employees is to be at work on time.
