Answer: D) Two nurses working together on the same team have a conflict over needing Thanksgiving holiday off, resulting in a breakdown in communication and ability to provide safe care for the clients.
A licensed practical/vocational nurse (LP/VN) is working on a team with a registered nurse (RN) and a nursing assistant (NA) on a long-term unit
The RN wanted the LP/VN to work the Thanksgiving holiday. The LP/VN has a large family and needs this holiday off. The RN was upset that the LP/VN would not work the holiday and would not talk to the LP/VN. The LP/VN recognizes that the conflict makes it difficult to work together on a team and could jeopardize care provided to clients. Which demonstrates the first step in resolving this conflict?
A) The LP/VN could suggest the RN could ask other RNs and other LP/VNs on their unit or a similar unit if someone could work the requested shift, and the RN will work another holiday, and list the holidays the RN is willing to trade.
B) An RN on another unit offers to work the Thanksgiving holiday, trading for New Years. Another RN on his or her unit offers to work the Thanksgiving holiday, trading for Labor Day. The RN trades with the RN on his or her unit because it helps maintain continuity of care with the clients.
C) The LP/VN not able to reach a resolution to the conflict seeks help from the nurse manager.
D) Two nurses working together on the same team have a conflict over needing Thanksgiving holiday off, resulting in a breakdown in communication and ability to provide safe care for the clients.
