What is the next step the managers should take? 1) Inform the nurses that they must take the patients to and from therapy. 2) Inform the therapists that they must take the patients to and from therapy. 3) Ask the hospital administrator to make an unbiased decision. 4) Begin informal negotiation between the two departments.
