Question 1 of 5
To resolve a conflict between staff members regarding potential changes in policy, a nurse manager decides to implement the changes she prefers regardless of the feelings of those who oppose those changes. Which of the following conflict resolution strategies is the nurse manager using?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Competing involves imposing one's preference, ignoring others' input, as the manager does. Collaborating seeks mutual solutions, and cooperating (B,
C) isn't a standard conflict resolution term.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in a clinic is reviewing laboratory reports for a group of clients. Which of the following diseases should the nurse report to the state health department?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pertussis is reportable due to its contagiousness and outbreak potential. Rotavirus , RSV , and Group B strep are typically not state-reportable unless part of an outbreak.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse manager observes assistive personnel (AP) incorrectly transferring a client to the bedside commode. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Demonstrating proper technique corrects the error immediately and educates the AP. Helping with the transfer doesn't teach, instructing to request help is secondary, and referring to a manual delays correction.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse manager is leading a discussion about ethical dilemmas. Which of the following situations should the nurse manager include as an example of an ethical dilemma?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A parent's wish versus adolescent autonomy creates an ethical dilemma. A burn is accidental, medication errors are procedural, and wrong-side surgery is a medical error, not ethical conflicts.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is unconscious and whose partner is their health care surrogate. The partner wishes to discontinue the client's feeding tube, but another family member tells the nurse that they want the client to continue receiving treatment. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The health care surrogate has legal authority to make decisions for an incapacitated client, superseding other family members' wishes.
