The nurse asked the nurse manager to go home early because the census was low. When the request was denied, the nurse stated, ?I don?t understand why I can?t leave early

I will use vacation time and this will help minimize personnel costs for the shift.? This statement is an example of: 1. Fogging.
2. Negative assertion.
3. Negative inquiry.
4. Compromise.


3
Explanation: 1. Once the rationale for the decision is understood, negative inquiry is an effective technique
provided the nurse does not become defensive or distraught. Fogging is a technique used
when the nurse is in partial agreement with what was said. Negative assertion involves some
acceptance of blame for what was said. Compromise implies that an agreement has occurred
between the nurse manager and the nurse.
