Which statement indicates understanding of how a nurse could improve personal decision-making skills?
1. "We should gather a group together to make important unit decisions to ensure fairness."
2. "I should practice making decisions by developing potential solutions and then choosing one."
3. "We can make a decision and then ask for input from others to make sure it was the right choice."
4. "I know I will never be able to improve my decision-making skills because I am not a strong person."

Rationale 1: Depending on a group is not likely to help the nurse improve personal decision-making skills.
Rationale 2: Practicing making decisions will increase the nurse's experience, comfort, and overall skill.
Rationale 3: Including a "we" in this process is not as likely to improve the nurse's personal decision-making skills as making an individual decision. Asking for input to make certain the choice was correct indicates lack of certainty.
Rationale 4: Decision-making skills can be learned regardless of one's perceived personal strength.
