A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about workplace bullying. Which of the following should the nurse include in the discussion as an example of workplace bullying?

Rationale:

A. "I allow myself 10 minutes to finish each client's dressing change.": Assigning a fixed time to every procedure may not be realistic, as dressing change complexity and patient needs can vary. Overly rigid timing can compromise quality of care and flexibility in prioritizing tasks.

B. "I try to be working on at least three tasks at once so I can finish on time.": Multitasking in nursing can lead to errors, incomplete documentation, and compromised patient safety. Prioritizing and completing tasks sequentially is more effective for accuracy and quality care.

C. "I do not document my interventions in the electronic medical records until the end of each shift.": Delayed documentation increases the risk of errors, omissions, and inaccurate reporting. Timely documentation is essential for continuity of care and legal accuracy.

D. "I perform stat and time-critical care as soon as I receive the provider's prescriptions.": Addressing urgent and time-sensitive tasks immediately ensures that critical needs are met without delay. This reflects appropriate prioritization and effective time management.

Rationale:

A. Record information about the home visit according to agency policy: Documentation is performed at the end of the visit to ensure that all observations, interventions, and plans are accurately recorded in the client’s record for continuity of care.

B. Contact the family to determine availability and readiness to make an appointment: Before visiting, the nurse should coordinate with the family to schedule a convenient time, ensuring that they are prepared for the assessment and intervention process.

C. Discuss plans for future visits with the family: After assessing the client and identifying needs, the nurse should collaborate with the family to plan ongoing visits and care strategies that align with their goals and availability.

D. Clarify the reason for the referral with the provider's office: This is the first step to ensure the nurse understands the purpose of the referral, specific concerns, and any important background information before contacting the family.

E. Identify family needs and interventions using the nursing process: During the visit, the nurse collects data, assesses needs, and develops appropriate interventions, forming the foundation for the care plan moving forward.
