Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Before attempting to solve any problem, the LPN/LVN must clearly identify the real problem. In this case, longer breaks may be the staff's reaction to a more fundamental workplace problem. Verbal confrontation should not be the initial action. Written reprimands should not be the initial action. In-service classes on time management would be not an inappropriate initial action.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Team building is a process by which employees become committed to management goals. The scenario does not describe any of the other options.
