A CNO(chief nurse officer) has received numerous complaints from nursing staff regarding their nurse manager. The CNO has received reports regarding retaliation if a nurse reports an issue or complaint regarding another co-worker
The CNO realizes this will cause increased stress among the nursing staff because the: 1. Nurses must feel comfortable in reporting issues to their manager.
2. Manager is not delegating tasks to staff.
3. Manager is reporting the issues to human resources.
4. Assistant manager is working as a staff nurse.

Explanation: 1. Authoritarian or punitive supervisory behavior is closely related to stress levels. Staff must
feel comfortable in reporting necessary information to their manager so issues can be
addressed and resolved. The manager may report the information to human resources but
should report the incidents to her manager, typically a director or CNO.
