A newly hired charge nurse assesses the staff nurses as competent individually, but ineffective and nonproductive as a team. In addressing her concern, the charge nurse should understand that the usual reason for such a situation is:
  1. Unhappiness about the change in leadership
  2. Unexpected feeling and emotions among the staff
  3. Fatigue from overwork and understaffing
  4. Failure to incorporate staff in decision making
Explanation
Answer - B - In addressing her concern, the charge nurse should understand that the usual reason for such a situation is unexpected feelings and emotions among the staff. The usual or most prevalent reason for lack of productivity in a group of competent nurses is inadequate communication or a situation in which the nurses have unexpected feeling and emotions. Although the other options could be contributing to the problematic situation, they’re less likely to be the cause.
