A nurse manager listens to a concern from a staff nurse about potential mistreatment of a
patient by another nurse and identifies moral distress. The nurse manager asks questions
regarding the behavior in question and consults others to obtain information. The nurse
manager uses the deontology approach to analyze the problem. What is the nurse
manager's next step using the ethical decision-making process?
Gather video evidence to determine if an ethical problem exists.
Ask the charge nurse and supervisors about the nurse's behavior.
Reflect on what went well in the process and what was the most challenging.
Confide in another manager who handled a similar situation to discuss options.
