View the leader case 3 ATI and answer the following:
Stage 1 Video
a) What tool could the nurse have used when giving a report to help her give Dr. Craig the
information he needed to determine what actions he needed to take?
The nurse could use the Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation ( SBAR ) Communication
Tool. This is because it is one of the most common communication tools in nursing for structuring
conversations. The main purpose of the SBAR technique is to improve the effectiveness of
communication through the standardization of the communication process. Published evidence shows
that SBAR provides effective and efficient communication, thereby promoting better patient outcomes.
b) Is Dr. Craig being unreasonable? Why or why not.
Yes. Dr. Craig is being unreasonable because when Beverly is trying to explain the components of the
SBAR communication tool to him but he doesn't collaborate due to his hierarchy position in nursing. She
refers to the nurse's communication about Mr. Adams' fall as an example. She informs Dr. Craig that the
nurse should include information about Mr. Adam's recent medications yet Dr. Craig is out of
understanding that.
Stage 2 Video
a) Why has Beverly asked Dr. Craig to go to the conference room with her?
Beverly asked Dr Craig to go to the conference room as a way to make him be exposed to good
leadership skills which were being addressed in the conference and which would have to equip him
more and change from being autocratic to at least a transformative leader in the nursing field.
