QUESTION 16 OF 20

You are a newly graduated Nurse Practitioner. What would you do if you observed a colleague be verbally aggressive with a patient?

Much of a Nurse Practitioner's job is a collaboration with other medical professionals. For this ethical dilemma, address the pressures a new employee may have to do the wrong thing and talk about how you would overcome that to do what you think is ethically correct.

"As a newly graduated Nurse Practitioner, I will still be growing into my confidence as a provider. There can also be pressure in some work environments to not 'rock the boat.' I would talk to that provider about what I saw occur and how it was inappropriate. I would then notify a supervisor about the incident and see if this indicates a colleague's pattern of behavior."
