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: The correct answer is D: Competing. The nurse manager is using a competing conflict resolution strategy by prioritizing her preferred changes over the concerns of the staff members who oppose them. This strategy involves asserting one's own interests at the expense of others. This approach can be effective in situations where quick decisions or decisive actions are needed but may lead to resentment and lack of buy-in from team members.
A: Compromising involves finding a middle ground that partially satisfies everyone's concerns, which is not the approach taken by the nurse manager in this scenario.
B: Collaborating involves working together to find a mutually beneficial solution, which is not evident in the nurse manager's actions.
C: Cooperating involves working together harmoniously towards a common goal, which is not the case when the nurse manager disregards the feelings of those who oppose the changes.
