educational settings can help prepare new nurses for their
professional role. However, managers should not assume that
such anticipatory socialization has occurred. Instead, they
should build opportunities for sharing and clarifying values and
attitudes about the nursing role into orientation programs. Use of
the group process is an excellent mechanism to promote the
, sharing that provides support for new graduates and assists them
in recovering from reality shock.
Arbitration Correct Answers If the differences cannot be settled
through a formal grievance process, the matter may finally be
resolved in a process known as arbitration. In arbitration, both

witnesses before coming to a decision.
Although grievance procedures extract a great deal of time and
energy from both employees and managers, they serve several

procedures are also a source of data to focus attention on
ambiguous contract language for labor-management negotiation
later.

and produces a reasonable apprehension of harm,
assertive communication Correct Answers reduces stress,
improves productivity, and contributes to a healthy workforce, a
way of communicating that allows people to express themselves

another person's rights. A person's position is expressed clearly
and firmly by using "I" statements as well as direct eye contact
and a calm voice. In addition, assertive communication always
requires that verbal and nonverbal messages be congruent. To be
successful in the directing phase of management, the leader must
have well-developed skills in assertive communication.
