Practice Question

A floor manager discovers widespread dissatisfaction and a high turnover rate amongst LPN and certified nursing assistants (CNA). Which of the following strategies might motivate the staff and lead to enhanced job satisfaction?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Establish a rewards program to recognize achievements of the staff

Rationale:

☀Recognition is a key motivational strategy in addressing job dissatisfaction and high turnover.

☀Establishing a rewards program acknowledges the efforts and achievements of LPNs and CNAs, leading to greater morale, engagement, and retention.

☀ When staff feel valued, they are more likely to take pride in their work and remain committed to the team.

☀Allowing staff to perform beyond their scope is unsafe, and although improving equipment and hiring more staff may help, they do not directly address motivation and recognition, which are central to satisfaction.
