Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse should notify the health care provider before leaving the home. Nurse/health care provider collaboration and open communication are important in fostering trust and respect. The manager should avoid taking care of problems for staff. The staff nurse needs to learn how to professionally communicate with other members of the health care team and demonstrate interdisciplinary collaboration.
