1. Acknowledge the diversity of the mental health team.
2. Recognize that conflict is natural and expected.
3. Determine personal values, biases, and goals.
4. Attend all mental health team meetings.
3
Rationale: The priority nursing action is to determine personal values, biases, and goals; these, especially if out of the awareness of the nurse, may be a factor in team dynamics. Acknowledging the diversity of the team, recognizing that conflict is natural, and attending all mental health team meetings are appropriate actions, but not the priority.
