The ABCs / MAAUAR method of priority setting ranks the ABCs as the topmost and greatest priorities which are then followed by the second and third priority level needs of the MAAUAR method. The second priority needs according to the MAAUAR method of priority setting after the ABCs include M-A-A-U-A-R which stands for: ●​ Mental status changes and alterations ●​ Acute pain ●​ Acute urinary elimination concerns ●​ Unaddressed and untreated problems that require immediate priority attention ●​ Abnormal laboratory and other diagnostic data that are outside of normal limits and ●​ Risks including those relating to a healthcare problem like safety, skin breakdown, infection, and other medical conditions The third-level priorities cover any issues or challenges that are not included in the second-level priority needs or the ABCs.

An LPN is having conflict with another nurse during her shift. She has tried to discuss the issues with the nurse with no resolution. What is the most appropriate way for the nurse to proceed?

A.​ Report the conflict to the assigned charge nurse of the unit. B.​ Report the conflict to the director of nursing over the unit. C.​ Report the conflict to the nurse manager of the unit. D.​ Discuss the conflict with the other nurse to attempt resolution of issue. Correct Response : A

Explanation : In a professional context, it's critical to adhere to the proper chain of command and avoid crossing any boundaries when elevating a problem up the ladder. Speaking with a nurse at your level of authority about the issue would not be appropriate. Hint: Terms like "most nearly," "closest," or "most appropriate" indicate that there might be minute variations in the available answers, or that there might not even be a perfect match for the correct response. In either scenario, you want to search for the response that best satisfies the question's parameters. (See Collaboration with Interdisciplinary Teams )
