reassignment to another unit for the day. The nurse begins to
sigh deeply and tosses about her belongings when preparing
to leave. What is the best immediate action for the charge
nurse to take? - Correct Answer ✅A.
Continue with the shift report and talk to the nurse about the
incident at a later time.

because it allows the nurse who was floated some cooling off
time. At a later time (after the nurse has cooled off) the
charge nurse should discuss the conduct of the nurse in
private.
