The manager has learned that some of the more experienced nurses on the unit have been playing pranks on a newly hired nurse and delegating their most challenging tasks to the nurse. What is the manager's best (priority) response after confirming that these events took place?

Offer support and encouragement to the newly hired nurse.

Implement a structure change so the experienced nurses no longer work at the same time as the new nurse.

Confront the more experienced nurses directly about their behavior.

Arrange for third-party consultation involving the more experienced nurses, the manager, and the new nurse.
