Answer 1

Answer:

Instances for which a staff member needs to report an occurrence directly to a manager include which of the following: A. An RN is diverting drugs; C. A patient reports that a male LVN made a sexual advance toward her; D. A nurse sees a gun in another staff member's locker at work.

Explanation:

A staff member needs to report the cases mentioned in A, C and D directly to a manager because all those situations are a risk and put lives in danger. In situation B, when a patient complains about the poor care received on the prior shift may be report to another member who is not the manager. It is an important situation to report, though is not so complicated as the prior mentioned. Diverting drugs is an inappropriate behaviour, such as a sexual advance to a patient or carring a gun to the work place. These situations must be reported to a manager.
