Question: Explain how conflict may occur between the beginning registered nurse and the interprofessional collaborative team and give 1 (one) evidence-based example of a potential negative outcome that may occur because of the conflict (300 words)

Conflict may arise when GRNs not being given the opportunity to fully participate in the team's decision-making process, that is, physicians or other health professionals who did not want the nurse to speak up about concern or issue relating to the patient' treatment plan (Hörberg et al., 2018, pp. 243-244). According to Merga (2016, p. 24), GRNs oftentimes received inadequate training to manage conflict, therefore, GRNs are not effectively responding to and preventing conflict in the workplace. This may lead GRNs feel that her input is not valued, and being isolated and excluded from the team, which can impact her ability to provide effective patient care (Pursio et al., 2021, p.1575).

Conflict is formed when the point of view and ideas of GRNs or other health professionals do not align with the caring goals of an interprofessional collaborative team of a particular patient (Henderson, 2019. p. 178; Ellis, 2019. p. 71).

The conflict may negatively impact the team's ability to function effectively, which can ultimately impact patient care. The nurse may also feel that the team members are not trusting the NGRN's competency. If conflict is not resolved, it can lead to decreased productivity, decreased morale, and increased stress levels among the teams. One negative outcome of conflict between the beginning registered nurse and the interprofessional collaborative team is that the nurse may feel overwhelmed and stressed. This could lead to the nurse making mistakes, which could harm the patient. Lack of communication can lead to a lack of understanding of each other's roles and responsibilities, which can in turn lead to tension and conflict. If not resolved, these disagreements can lead to negative outcomes for the patient, such as delays in care, and missed nursing care (Pasila, & Kääriäinen, 2017, pp. 6-7). For example, doctors charted the prescription too late, which cause the nurse missed administration of insulin to a diabetic patient (Cullati et al., 2019, p. 44).
