A nurse manager has felt overwhelmed by work the last few months. After putting in many hours of unpaid overtime, the workload is beginning to stabilize
The nursing supervisor asks the manager to take on a new task that is exciting and stimulating. What should the manager do? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Consider how much work will be added to the current workload.
2. Tell the supervisor no.

Rationale 1: The manager must be realistic about how much work can be done.
Rationale 2: If the project is too much for the manager to take on, the manager should say no. The manager must be aware of the consequences of declining the assignment.
Rationale 3: If the manager would like to take on the new project, it may be necessary to decrease another job responsibility. The manager should discuss this possibility with the supervisor.
Rationale 4: The manager should be aware of the consequences of overloading one's self. Accepting the assignment and continuing the current work pace may be dangerous to the manager and to others.
Rationale 5: Additional salary does not make additional time. If the nurse does not have sufficient time to commit to the project, additional salary will not be helpful.
