Choice A reason: Conducting a chart review can provide insights into the care issue, but it does not directly address the employee's performance or reasons for failing to meet standards.

Choice B reason: Asking other staff to document concerns may be part of a broader investigation into the issue, but it should not be used solely for the purpose of discharging an employee without a fair assessment and opportunity for improvement.

Choice C reason: Asking questions of the employee can help understand their perspective and knowledge base, but it is not a comprehensive approach to dealing with performance issues.

Choice D reason: Determining if the issue is related to the employee's will or skill is essential. If it is a skill issue, the leader can provide additional training or resources. If it is a will issue, then further action, such as motivational interviewing or disciplinary measures, may be necessary. This approach ensures a fair and constructive response to the problem.

Choice A reason: While asking for assistance is important, the first action should be to assess the client for any injuries to determine the appropriate course of action.

Choice B reason: Instructing the client to ask for help is a preventive measure for future incidents but does not address the immediate concern of potential injuries.

Choice C reason: Calling the provider is necessary after assessing and stabilizing the client's condition, not as the first action upon finding the client on the floor.

Choice D reason: The nurse's priority is to ensure the client's safety. Inspecting the client for injuries immediately helps to identify any urgent medical needs and is the most appropriate first response.
