A staff nurse enters the room in which you're giving care to a patient in traction. She calls you aside and states, I've watched you all morning. You don't seem to know how to do anything right. Look at you now
 
  You're bathing the patient and it's almost time for lunch. An assertive approach would be to say
 
  a. You're right. I am still bathing the patient. She was in pain earlier. I waited until her narcotic made her more comfortable.
  b. I'm sorry you think I give poor care. I'm still pretty new, and I'm trying hard to learn.
  c. I've watched you, too. You've criticized every student. Is this some game you play?
  d. I hope you won't report this to my instructor.

Question 2

A nursing student's mother states, I need you to watch your younger siblings while I play bingo. The nursing student had planned to prepare for a unit examination. An assertive approach would be to say
 
  a. What you're asking isn't fair. I have an exam to study for. You never win at bingo anyway.
  b. OK. If your bingo means more to you than my passing a big exam, I'll watch the kids.
  c. I'll make a deal with you. I'll watch the kids if you'll cook my favorite meal tomorrow night.
  d. I'm sorry, but I won't be able to babysit. I have an exam tomorrow. I need the time tonight to study.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Saying You're right. I am still bathing the patient. She was in pain earlier. I waited until her narcotic made her more comfortable, assertively tells the staff nurse that the student has used critical thinking in arriving at a course of action. The statement I'm sorry you think I give poor care. I'm still pretty new, and I'm trying hard to learn is passive. Stating I've watched you , too. You've criticized every student. Is this some game you play? is aggressive. Stating I hope you won't report this to my instructor is passive.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Telling the mother, I'm sorry, but I won't be able to babysit. I have an exam tomorrow. I need the time tonight to study, is honest and protects the nursing student's rights. Stating What you're asking isn't fair. I have an exam to study for. You never win at bingo anyway is aggressive. The statement OK. If your bingo means more to you than my passing a big exam, I'll watch the kids is passive aggressive. I'll make a deal with you. I'll watch the kids if you'll cook my favorite meal tomorrow night is manipulative.
