How does conflict resolution come into play with regard to personal organization and self-discipline?
1. The nurse manager spends most of the time working through conflicts with or between staff members.
2. Conflict resolution occurs when the nurse manager effectively prioritizes conflicting needs.
3. As the nurse works toward personal organization and self-discipline, personal conflicts will resolve.
4. Conflict resolution is the only way a nurse can get organized and become disciplined.

Explanation: 1. The nurse manager must frequently resolve conflicts between tasks all seemingly on the same
level of importance. Working through conflicts between staff members is incorrect because
these conflicts have little to do with time management and self-discipline. Personal conflicts
will not resolve with personal organization and self-discipline. Time conflicts will occur
regardless of how organized a person may be, and conflict resolution will not prevent time
conflicts from occurring.
