You witness a situation where the unit manager and a newly hired nurse are having a conflict over using a new procedure for dressings in the medical/surgical area. The new nurse wishes to use the new procedure based on recently released nursing research. The unit manager flatly rejects this idea, stating they will use a protocol that has been used in the department for a number of years. After the new staff nurse leaves the room, the unit manager makes a disparaging comment about the new nurse’s credibility and asks what you think about her. What is the best way to respond to your manager’s comment? (Select all that apply.) Question 55 options: Say nothing. Speaking up will only make it worse. Tell the unit manager you feel they are bullying the new nurse. State “I personally think it’s good to hear different opinions about new procedures.” Offer support to the new nurse when you see them next. State “I’m not comfortable talking about someone when they’re not in the room.”
