Nursing students take turns being the team leader for the group of clients, their assigned students and team members

Question

The team leader evaluates the followership qualities of the team members during the past clinical experience. Which followership behavior exhibited by the four team members should the team leader discuss with the individual team member to improve teamwork?
A) Asks for help to reposition an immobile client who slid down in bed in order to maintain proper body mechanics, to prevent any back injuries, and to provide safe and efficient care for the client
B) Asks the team leader for clarification on her assignment, and after receiving the clarification carries out the assignment, charting it according to the institution's policy and procedure
C) Attempts to place a nasogastric (NG) tube while the client is lying flat, and after the team leader discussed the best way to insert the NG tube. Then the student inserted an NG into another client while the client was lying flat in bed
D) Offers suggestions to the team leader making the team member assignments to provide the same clients the nursing students had during their last clinical in order to better provide continuity of care

Answer 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The team leader needs to discuss with the student who has problems with constructive criticism the value of following the advice to improve the quality of care delivered to clients. Team members should ask for help when moving or repositioning clients. A team member should ask for clarification from the team leader in order to provide safe efficient care for clients. A team member with appropriate followership skills provides suggestions to improve the effectiveness of the health care team members.
