Nurse managers should avoid judging, criticizing, or rejecting behavior but instead should seek to understand people according to Anderson's rules for successfully working with people. It is the nurse manager's responsibility to identify the reason for people's behavior and work with it rather than judge it according to Anderson's rules for successfully working with people.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 4
Critical thinkers are actively engaged in life, value creativity, and are innovative people. In addition, they are self-confident about themselves personally and their ability to contribute to a group process. No one is ever done if he or she is a critical thinker. Critical thinking suggests a continual assessment of the certainties of life. Critical thinking can be demonstrated quietly through writing or talking. It also can be more dramatic when it is a political change, a march for a particular cause, or a strike. A common theme to many discussions of critical thinking is an activity resulting from a traumatic experience that prompts re-examining the situation that caused the trauma. Just as true is the occurrence of a joyful, pleasing, or fulfilling eventa hallmark life experience that alters one's view of how the world has previously functioned.
