It is important to ensure that all members of the group have an equal opportunity to participate and share their ideas. Allowing additional time for the quiet nurse to respond can provide them with the chance to contribute to the policy development process. It is not appropriate to replace the nurse, notify the nurse manager, or refer the nurse to a counselor without first attempting to address the issue through supportive measures such as providing additional time for participation.
