A, B, C
Behaviors that result in corrective action can be categorized into developmental needs or failure to follow policies and procedures. The nurse's inability to complete assignments in a timely manner reflects on the nurse's potential need for coaching and guidance in time management from their manager or supervisor (developmental needs). Excessive absenteeism is a form of failing to comply with policies and procedures that necessitates disciplinary corrective action. A union compliant does not necessarily require corrective action unless it occurs as a result of a corrective or disciplinary action, such as a verbal warning.
