The LPN is working as a team member and notices signs of a dysfunctional team. What should the LPN do?
 
  1.
  Share what was seen in an open and caring manner.
  2.
  Act as the manager to correct the problem.
  3.
  Report the problem to the next most senior member of the team.
  4.
  Ignore it and it will probably resolve on its own.

Question 2

Teamwork is critical in the healthcare system today because:
 
  1.
  health maintenance organizations and insurance companies require teamwork.
  2.
  teams can address the diversity in care, as well as plan and process additional needs.
  3.
  teamwork is required by the Nurse Practice Act.
  4.
  teams are required by most healthcare regulatory agencies.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The LPN should share the dysfunctional behavior observed with the other team members in a caring and open way and participate in resolution strategies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
One nurse or caregiver cannot meet the many complex needs of today's healthcare recipients. Teams have the ability to provide for the diversity in care, as well as plan and process additional needs.
