The process of management for the nurse leader consists of the application of steps similar to those of the nursing process. Which of the following contains all the steps of the man-agement process?
1. At the end of the shift report, the team leader tells the staff that charting will be reviewed, medication Cardex checked, and patient rounds made a half-hour early today to obtain a more detailed patient profile of care provided during that shift. 2. The team leader has been unavoidably late, has missed most of the shift report, and grabs the staffing roster to make out patient assignments. The assignments are scheduled by alphabetical order by the geographic areas of the unit. No incidents appear to have occurred on the unit during the shift. 3. The nurse is perpetually late for duty and frequently leaves before the end of the shift report, asking others to help in completing the patient assignment. The team leader ignores this as long as patient care is completed. 4. The staff member is noted to leave some patients in strange positions on several occasions. On rounds, the team leader notices this and correctly repositions the patients. The team leader thinks that the staff could probably use some in-service training on proper positioning; however, she decides that there is no time to do this.
