The strategy must be confronting the LPN and encouraging him
or her to express his feelings concerning the change. Confrontation is a significant
strategy in dealing with struggle. Face-to-face meetings to confront the subject
at hand let verbalization of feelings, documentation of problems and matters,
and expansion of strategies to resolve the problem. Disregarding the resistance
does not face the problem. Giving a momentary solution to the resistance by
having the registered nurse do all of the computer work and having the LPN do
only particular documentation will not exactly address the concern. Telling the
LPN that the nonfulfillment will be documented in his personnel record may yield
extra resistance.
