To prepare staffing schedules, a nurse manager needs to calculate paid nonproductive time. When calculating paid nonproductive time, the nurse considers

A. Waiting for the patient to leave before filing an incident report is not the most appropriate response. The immediate priority should be addressing the situation to ensure the patient's safety and attempting to resolve any issues before the patient leaves.
B. Contacting the patient’s next-of-kin can be appropriate if the nurse is concerned about the patient’s safety and if it’s necessary to inform the family about the patient’s condition or situation. However, this should be done only after attempting to address the situation directly with the patient, if feasible. It’s important to first try to resolve the issue directly with the patient before involving family members.
C. Walking with the patient and explaining the risks of leaving against medical advice (AMA) shows a proactive approach to addressing the patient's concerns and ensuring they understand the potential consequences of their actions. This approach aims to de-escalate the situation, provide important information, and potentially encourage the patient to stay for necessary care.
D. Calling security personnel should be a last resort and is generally used in situations where there is a safety threat or risk of harm. In this case, the patient is leaving in a disgruntled state but not exhibiting violent or threatening behavior.

A. This statement accurately reflects the importance of personal insight in leadership. By understanding one's strengths, a leader can leverage them effectively to achieve goals and contribute to the organization.
B. Moral courage compels us to "stand up for what is right unless our jobs are threatened." This statement defines moral courage, not personal insight.
C. Reflection can lead to value development but it's not necessarily the final stage or ultimate goal. Personal growth and self-awareness are ongoing processes.
D. Emotional intelligence is strongly correlated with personal and leadership success.
