Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
This is straightforward and assertive and resolves a clinical problem. The other options fail to provide a solution to the clinical problem created by the nursing assistant's failure to obtain the weights.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Affiliation needs are met by providing for good interpersonal relationships among staff. Planning a social gathering is a way of meeting affiliation needs. Reorienting all staff to policies and shift routine is probably unnecessary and would not address affiliation needs. Encouraging attendance at continuing education seminars addresses level 4 needs for recognition, growth, and responsibility. Offering training in violence prevention addresses level 2 safety needs.
