The correct answer is to meet with both the ICU nurse and the surgical nurse to discuss the situation. This is the appropriate action for the unit's nurse manager to take because it allows for open communication and clarification of expectations. Meeting with both nurses together and issuing an informal verbal warning allows for a collaborative approach to addressing the issue and ensures that both nurses understand the importance of monitoring the cardiac rhythm after administering medication.

- A.
The nurse may quit.

The nursing staff is a cohesive group and might retaliate.
- C.
The manager is not comfortable with confrontation.
- D.
The manager does not feel supported by the director.

The potential for litigation that arises from this complaint
- E.

Correct Answer(s)
C. The apparent inconsistencies in discipline within the unit
D. The potential for litigation that arises from this complaintExplanation
The HR director would discuss the apparent inconsistencies in discipline within the unit with the hospital chief nursing officer. This is because the nurse has complained about unfair treatment by their manager, specifically mentioning that they received a written warning while other nursing staff who exhibit similar behaviors were not reprimanded. This indicates a lack of consistency in disciplinary actions within the unit, which could be a concern for the hospital. Additionally, the potential for litigation arising from this complaint would also be a topic of discussion as it could have legal implications for the hospital.Rate this question:

- A.
Issue a written warning from the CNO.
- B.
Place the nurse on suspension pending a new investigation into the complaints.
- C.
Terminate the nurse.
- D.
Transfer the nurse to another department under another manager.
Correct Answer
C. Terminate the nurse.Explanation
Based on the given information, the nurse has had multiple client and physician complaints, and despite receiving verbal and written warnings, the behavior continues. This suggests that the nurse has not responded to previous interventions and is not likely to change their behavior. Therefore, terminating the nurse would be the most appropriate course of action to address the ongoing issue and protect the interests of the clients and physicians.Rate this question:

The coach would interpret the statement "I've been a manager longer than our coach has been a nurse" as indicating that the manager does not value the opportunity because it suggests that the manager believes they have more experience and knowledge than the coach, therefore implying that they do not need the coach's guidance. The statement "Another new program to waste our time" also indicates a lack of value for the opportunity, as it suggests that the manager sees the coaching program as a waste of time rather than a valuable learning experience.Rate this question:
