Explanation:

During a discussion of concern about approaches used with aggressive patients in the Emergency Department, several staff members express concern for their safety.  As a leader, the nurse manager should look directly at speakers and acknowledge their comments. As being a leader, the nurse manager should make everyone feel good where everyone should be getting a message that he or she has been properly given importance and has been listened as well.
