Which statement by the nurse managing a unit conflict indicates that the integrative decision-making strategy is being used?
1. "I've heard all I need to hear. I'll have a decision tomorrow."
2. "Once you have signed this informed consent, the issue will go to mediation."
3. "This will all blow over if everyone just tries to get along better."
4. "Both parties should come up with as many alternative solutions as possible before our next meeting."

Rationale 3: Waiting for everyone to "get along" and the problem to "blow over" are characteristic of smoothing or avoiding behaviors.
Rationale 4: In integrative decision-making, both parties conduct an exhaustive search for acceptable alternatives.
