A difference in opinion has arisen regarding methods to care for clients who are on mechanical ventilators. The nurse manager asks a group of nurses to meet and review evidence-based practice related to this client care situation
Each nurse volunteers to gather data prior to the next meeting. This is an example of which type of problem solving? 1. Negotiation
2. Collaboration
3. Compromise
4. Forcing
2
Rationale 1: Negotiation implies differences in opinions. There is no evidence that negotiation will be necessary in the work outlined.
Rationale 2: Collaboration occurs when all parties use their expertise to problem solve. The group focuses on problem solving as opposed to competition.
Rationale 3: Compromise means that neither party gets what he or she wants. Rewards are divided between both parties. There is not yet any compromise indicated in this scenario.
Rationale 4: Forcing provides an immediate end to the conflict but fails to resolve the cause of the conflict. An example of forcing would be the nurse manager making a decision on the client care and telling nurses that is how it is to be done.
